If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.

I don't let my mouth say nothin' my head can't stand

We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself.

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?

The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.

I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right / shame on you!
