More From Van Morrison

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.
Thinking Dancing Listening
Jazz is the greatest american art form and our greatest export. we don't pay attention to the youth of jazz, don't stoke the fires creatively for the youth coming up. i feel like jazz musicians became too much of purists - with donald byrd doing funk jazz in the '70s.

We're [with robbie robertson ] jazz musicians. the context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. it's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. it can never be the same.

I don't mind being classified as a jazz artist, but i do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. my foundation has been in jazz, though i didn't really start out that way. i started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation.
Artist Years Mind
I grew up in a home filled with music and had an early appreciation of jazz since my dad was a jazz musician. beginning at around age three i started singing with his band and jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing. i like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. it's always where i go back to when i want to feel grounded.
Appreciation Dad Passion
The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

Similar Quotes
The song seraphically free of taint of personality, so pure that it salutes the suns the voice of one for millions, in whom the millions rejoice for giving their one spirit voice.
Song Voice Giving
I feel i have a responsibility to myself, a responsibility to explain where we're coming from. because a song or the performance of a song is a lot like a work of art.
Song Art Responsibility
When we started i wasn't the singer. i was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

There would be brilliant songs, but, as [bob] dylan admitted on the recent martin scorsese documentary about him (no direction home), the specific muse that inspired "it's alright ma" would not return.
