"I think it's terribly important that Jazz is primarly dance music, so you move when you hear it. And it always moves into a direction of... Elegance. Which is the most civilized thing that human beings can do. The utter extension, elaboration and refinement of effort is Elegance, where just doing it gives pleasure of itself. That’s about as far as we can get with life...! That’s equivalent to what Ernest Hemingway called 'The sweat on a wine bottle': if you don’t enjoy how those beads of sweat look, you know, when you pour the white wine out and you taste it, and how your partner looks, and how the sunlight comes through... You missed it”.
Para guardar e não mais esquecer.
(golden words by Mr. Albert Murray in "Jazz", 2001, Ken Burns)
