    "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)
