I'm sure this would shock purists who claim it's American music, but jazz has been alive and well in other countries for a very, very long time. Don't know the sales figures though.

"In Europe they look upon jazz as art. In America it's a diversion. Somebody opens a restaurant and installs another band off to the side. People don't listen."

Probably unfair, in many respects, but clearly it was his experience. I adore Jazz, and many other genres. Most of them are not represented on charts. I somehow manage to survive and keep breathing - like many a fellow music-lover!

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
This is a good one.
"Chet Baker with 50 Italian Strings" is another good one, not to be missed.
