Appreciation Quote by Al Jarreau

“I'm not sure it's a better music world of appreciation and performance. I think the listener is a different guy, and listening is something he does in passing, with other stuff going on. There's less care and understanding of the relationship between the song and the listener.” quote by Al Jarreau — Download Open image
