I didn't know there were 2 ten o'clocks in a day.
One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart. It’s the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It’s the first thing you hear when you’re born — or before you’re born — and it’s the last thing you hear.
There is no art without intention.
I listen to and I play all kinds of music, and I'm interested in jazz and in bluegrass - I like it all - but Cuban music speaks to me in a certain way.
I've listened to Jazz since I was born and always knew I'd be a Jazz singer!
"The Hallmark Sessions" is an extraordinary release. Breau plays beautiful chords (sounding a little like Johnny Smith in spots) and inventive single-note lines. It is remarkable that this music was not released until 2003, but a happy event that it was finally put out. This is a must for Breau fans and an important release for all jazz guitar lovers.

Jazz is like blues with a shot of heroin!
I'd rather play jazz, I hate rock and roll.
I'd love to act. I feel that it's another naked, mysterious challenge, like jazz. It kind of intrigues me in the same way.
Yes, I have been studying piano since I was six. Classical, jazz, compositional, Broadway, everything. I just love it all.
I'm not a one-stop music shop with jazz improv in aisle 3 and country and western in aisle 4. I have a fairly focused and established kind of melody and approach, so people know what they're getting into when they go into business with me.
It's not jazz as we know jazz here in America.
Once you discover that you can, then you must.
Everybody in all countries tries to play jazz.
Jazz came to America three hundred years ago in chains.
Jazz never ends. . . it just continues.
There is nothing new. . . everything has roots in the past.
I've had the pleasure of playing with the baddest Jazz cats on the planet.
Jazz is one of the few things you can do in society and express yourself freely and creatively.
