““I don't understand an age where meanings dissolve and all we're left with are names that last for a minute, where symbols don't symbolize anything but a marketed product, where politics and money create greatness. I'm glad to have been alive during times when this was not as true: when the market was not determining what food we wanted, then giving exactly what we wanted back to us, thus creating a dangerous loop, because in this vicious circle expectations are granted, not questioned or surpassed. January 1999””

His music sounds like a talented high-school trumpet player to me... he's jazzy the same way someone who drives a BMW is sporty.” quote by Keith Jarrett](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/151/keith-jarrett-16919_bmw_i-ve-never-heard-anything-wynton-marsali_1148495.jpg)
