From Duke Ellington: "The line between longhair and jazz has become pretty thin. I don’t even know what you can call it or even why it should be labeled anything. If it sounds good, it sounds good. That’s all that matters. And if it sounds bad, it sounds bad. whether you’re goofing or longhair or just Dixieland."
