Be Curious!
You can't explain jazz to someone without losing the experience. It has to be lived because it doesn't hear words. Words are the children of reason, and therefore, they cannot explain it. They cannot translate the feeling because they are not part of it. That’s why it annoys me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not, it's not. It's feeling.
Bill Evans
