The coffee doesn't taste quite as good without Jerry around. However, here's a post in the interest of keeping the table set and the pot going for when he gets back. He's going to need some java, or maybe some chicken soup. Lacking anything much in the way of original thinking--or any kind of thinking--at the end of a long day, here are a few quotes about jazz that struck a chord:

Jazz music is an intensified feeling of nonchalance. -- Fancoise Sagan

Don't play what's there, play what's not there. -- Miles Davis

We kept reading about rockets and jets and radar, and you can't play 4/4 music in times like that. -- Max Roach, about bebop
