What you will hear in his words is that Brian was not only the musician who was most influential in driving The Beatles in a more artistic and advanced direction musically, but that the 'Sgt. Pepper' album in particular was a direct outgrowth of Brian's productions of 'Pet Sounds' and 'Good Vibrations,'

I'm still a huge fan of Mike Nesmith. I think he's a great musician.

Jimi's fan base is one thing only it's about his genius as guitarist, musician and performer. All the work needed to solidify the fan base was accomplished in 1970 when he was alive, creating, and creative. Nothing magical about Janie Hendrix adds to that legacy.

'This Is New' was a beginning for me, a gentle announcement that this was where I was moving. For me as a musician, I've got to continue challenging myself. I'm sure at some point I'll come back to straight-ahead jazz, but I'm feeling the need to go outside of that realm right now to enlarge my musical vocabulary.

I'm a classically trained musician. Most of the time I'm playing solo classical guitar. It's really exciting to be able to meld with a group of musicians, express myself on a larger palette.

You just get to the point where outdoing yourself and progressing as a musician just gets more and more important. I think that there'll never be a time where we go forward but move backwards musically. I think we'll always push to outdo what we've done.

I used to sit there and look over my shoulder at Irv when he was playing and wonder, what did this guy sound like 50 years ago when he was in his 30s? He was a great musician up until the end.

...I always try to teach by example and not force my ideas on a young musician. One of the reasons we're here is to be a part of this process of exchange.

Very talented but very dedicated, accomplished musician. The way he goes about his music business, he looks at this as a business. He wants to become a professional player and he acts that way.

I don't know how to put it (his experience) in words. It was an experience and a half, very much a learning experience that gave me a real profound feeling and appreciation of the subtleties and direction in music. I can't thank Prof. Mair enough or the college for funding me. It's all so surreal. I know it's motivated me to propel me to the next level. Anyone going to an event like this will come back wanting to be a better musician. That's for sure.

I'm really indebted to Johnny. He was my first musical hero. Were it not for him, things would have happened quite differently. I can envision myself as maybe a starving jazz musician. I never had any inclination towards fame or stardom. I just love music. Johnny was more ambitious and outgoing. I was the weird and quiet guy who played all the instruments.

As a psychiatrist, as a human, as a musician, I know how music can bring people together. In this case, to give a sense of community so that children will learn a song about their city that they will know and sing the rest of their lives.

Ellington never graduated from high school, so when you speak about his success as a musician, his success as a businessman, his success as an organizer, the city was his tutor.

Irish music has been great to me. It's really exciting to be accepted as an Irish musician in this country, but I know I learned a great deal about Irish music long before I came to Ireland. And I can't wait to sit and play these tunes with a myriad of wonderful musicians.

All of us at the symphony have a great relationship with Nicola's. It's a fabulous Italian restaurant and a great date place for beforehand. We always take all of our guest artists there for an after-concert dinner. And of course there are many downtown places like Bella, Palomino or Shanghai Mama's. If you want something very simple there is Washington Platform - this is actually a big CSO musician lunch place.

The musician is perhaps the most modest of animals, but he is also the proudest. It is he who invented the sublime art of ruining poetry.

Everything has changed; my tone, my harmonics, my technique and control of my horn,.. It's all part of my evolution as a jazz musician, that combined with the fact I now perform regularly and practice two to three hours a day and more, when possible.

I never heard (Rich) go off on a musician unless there was a reason,.. However, (Rich) never knew when to lighten up. He'd state his case and then continue until he had blown his stack.

Brian came in heavy at that moment on his guitar, the rapid, high-pitched squeal ranging back and forth as his fingers flew along the frets. As the intro's tempo grew more rapid, Bekka heard Derek's subtle bass line as it worked its way in. After another few seconds Will came in, slow at first, but racing along to match the others' pace. When their combined efforts seemed unable to get any heavier, David jumped into the mix. As the sound got nice and heavy, Bekka began to rock back-and-forth onstage. In front of her, hundreds of metal-lovers began to jump and gyrate to their music. She matched their movements for a moment, enjoying the connection that was being made, before stepping over to the keyboard that had been set up behind her. Sliding her microphone into an attached cradle, she assumed her position and got ready. Right on cue, all the others stopped playing, throwing the auditorium into an abrupt silence. Before the crowd could react, however, Bekka's fingers began to work the keys, issuing a rhythm that was much softer and slower than what had been built up. The audience's violent thrash-dance calmed at that moment and they began to sway in response. Bekka smiled to herself. This is what she lived for.

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician, or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles? Far from it: at the same time he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
