Jazz Finished

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or finished:

“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

“A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
