Jazz music is performed in many different settings and venues throughout the world. When jazz is performed in public places such as outdoor jazz festivals and indoor jazz clubs, quiet conversation is usually considered acceptable.

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or music:

    “The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance—Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance—whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed.”
    —André Previn (b. 1929)

    “Words move, music moves
    Only in time; but that which is only living
    Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
    Into the silence.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
