Jazz music stimulates the minds and uplifts the souls of those who play it was well as of those who listen to immerse themselves in it. The harmonies within the music can relax, soothe, relax, and uplift the mind when you concentrate upon and absorb it.
You must concentrate upon it in order to get the most of it. “Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.” ~ Miles Davis.“Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.” ~ John Philip Sousa.“The spirit of jazz is the spirit of openness.” ~ Herbie Hancock.
It’s a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, hopes, of the people.” ~ Dexter Gordon
