I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.

Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.

I just can't stand it [ jazz/rock]. It just doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't hit me...it doesn't get me...it just doesn't grab me.
