Smooth Jazz Quotes

• El jazz es suave y fresco. El jazz es rabia. El jazz fluye como el agua. El jazz nunca parece empezar ni terminar. El jazz no es metódico, pero tampoco es desordenado. El jazz es una conversación, un toma y daca. El jazz es conexión y comunicación entre músicos. El jazz es abandono.

  Nat Wolff

  Communication, Cool Jazz, Giving
