Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or band:

    “There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.”
    —Pat Metheny (b. 1954)

    “And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.”
