maren Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 And, while waiting for another one, I have another: "Everything is so ugly now. I don't know what happened, with that music. It's political, it's angry - anything but musical. Where is it written that music should be unpleasant? Life is." I remember Tadd Dameron saying something like that ... Artie Shaw. Just read it in his obit the other day. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Posted February 21, 2005 I found a quote that I think makes this thread worthy of revival. You're not supposed to rape the drums, you make love to them as far as I'm concerned! You can google it or guess it, anyway enjoy the genius of the one who said it! Quote
paul secor Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 The first person I thought it couldn't possibly be was Buddy Rich - so it's probably he. Jo Jones did it (made love to the drums, that is). I don't know if he said it. Quote
Alon Marcus Posted February 21, 2005 Author Report Posted February 21, 2005 Sorry guys, non of the above though I suppose the quote applies much to their work. Quote

Joe Posted February 21, 2005 Report Posted February 21, 2005 Pepper Adams? Moving on, then... "We have to make ourselves as perfect as we can." Quote
JSngry Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Charles Lloyd would not be out of the question either. Quote
Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I would have guessed that the Adams quote would have come out of the mouth of Eddie Condon. Quote
Joe Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 Pepper Adams? Moving on, then... "We have to make ourselves as perfect as we can." No winners yet on this. Quote
maren Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I believe it was an answer to a question about why one would practice on a bridge... Quote

JSngry Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I had no idea that Clem Labine wsa ever married to Bob Turley. I find his actions unforgivable. Quote
