Ella Fitzgerald

Jazz isn't what you do; it's how you do it.

I don't think I'm singing. I feel like I'm playing a horn...What comes out is what I feel.
Billie Holiday
(1915-1959)

Duke Ellington
(1899-1974)
This is so nice, it must be illegal.

If you play a tune and a person don't tap their feet, don't play the tune.
