História(s) do jazz

A New History of Jazz
Alyn Shipton

You could tell whenever the band was playing, because the audience would be outside on the sidewalk, and then when the intermission came, they’d go into the club for a drink.

Paul Bley describing the debut of Ornette Coleman at the Hillcrest Club, Los Angeles, in 1958.

It was my night off from my regular gig, and I went to an after hours jam session based around Gerry Mulligan’s band at a place called the Haig.The room was jam-packed, and you couldn’t even walk in there, but a man came up to stage, took out a plastic alto sax, and began to play. And the room lit up for me. I’d never heard anything so brilliant, because I’d gone to a lot of jam sessions myself and been hearing a way in which I could play without using chord structures, but staying on a certain part of the tune, or staying in a mode, or even creating an entirely new structure. Whenever I tried it, people would get upset, but here I heard somebody actually doing all that. It really startled me, but almost as soon as he started to play, they asked him to stop.

Charlie Haden on Ornette Coleman.

"There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions".

"Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly."

Annie Hall (1977), Woody Allen

About the blues

Music that we're playing now is just the blues of all of America, all over again, it's just a different kind of blues. This is the blues, the real blues, it's the new blues, and people must listen to this music because they'll be hearing it all the time. Because if it's not me it'll be someone else that's playing it. The majority of the younger musicians I've heard in New York, they've begun to play this way because this is the only way left for musicians to play. All the other ways have been explored, in the time past.

Albert Ayler
