More From Baz Luhrmann

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.

I think that the blues is in everything, so it's not possible to neglect it. you hear somebody go 'ooh ooh oooh,' and that's the blues. you hear a rock n' roll song. that's the blues. somebody playing a guitar solo? they're playing the blues.
Song Thinking Rocks
I have heartaches, i have blues. no matter what you got, the blues is there. 'cause that's all i know - the blues. and i can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and i can give you the blues.
