One of the intrinsic elements of jazz is the blues. We have that. Jazz is music that allows itself to play. You are playing the tune, and anything can change. That’s the spirit we have. But if you think of the music as a rhythm – swing — we don’t play that.”
In the end, of course, it’s all just music. What we label it is irrelevant. As Klein told Ratliff, “Bebop is one of the most important things in the 20th century, and Stravinsky, you know… Secretly, it has to do with heart. How you feel in your heart.”
