"You all got too interested in jazz as an art. I think it is too, but you
got too impressed thinking about the jazz art as if it were some other kind
of art....
...We all stand around and yell about how good we are, how much art we're
making. But we have no audience, not in comparison to what we say or what
other people have. Are the people who like jazz proud of the fact that they
have all to themselves what so many other people don't want?"
- Lionel Hampton, 1962 (quoted in this month's Downbeat magazine)
