Jazz Blues

Famous quotes containing the words jazz and/or blues:

“There’s more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that’s because the audience doesn’t really know what’s happening.”

“Holly Golightly: You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds?
Paul: The mean reds? You mean like the blues?
Holly Golightly: No, the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid and you don’t know what you’re afraid of.”
