'JAZZ is what happens when people begin to live life together, life in concert,
live as an ensemble.  when we realize that we all dont have to be the same but rather we
each bring a different instrument to the song and as while we are playing the song then
we can play our instrument in the process we can syncopate and improvise
 and we call and respond and we learn to expect from one another.'

-if i were to tell you this man who is about to be on stage has been practicing the trumpet

for thirty years, youre going to expect something from him.  well if i tell you some man has been following Jesus for thirty years, what then?-

'what would happen in our churches if we learned how to practice christianity
together and in the stage of life we even assumed that each other were practicing?'

jazz.
