"If you don´t know how to play a cool Swing-Rhythm, you will not be able to play some cool Solos either ... it is like Duke Ellington said: "It don´t mean a thing if it aint got that swing!"

(Romane)

“Really good music must be played with your heart.
Anything else is just gymnastics ...”

(Angelo DeBarre)

"To play music is like comitting murder - you play as intending to do something ..."

(Duke Ellington)

"One of the things I like about Jazz, kid, is:
I don't know what's going to happen next. Do you?"

(Bix Beiderbecke)

"Yes, i listen to other guitarplayers.
They show me new concepts and
where the instrument may go to in future.
 
The greatest guitarrist in the world today
for me is Paco de Lucia, cause it´s really spanish
how he plays: autenthic and original...
and thats the way every musician should play!"

(George Benson)
