More From Dave Van Ronk

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
I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

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.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

To say that the afro american created jazz doesn't mean anything bad about anglo americans, and i always teach my younger jazz musicians that at this point the entirety of the american tradition is your heritage, and you need to know it.
Mean Musician Needs
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.

I talk as i sketch, too, in order to keep their minds off what i'm doing so i'll get the most natural expression i can from them. also, the talking helps to size up the subject's personality, so i can figure out better how to portray him.

Something in me knows where i’m going, and - well, painting is a state of being. ... painting is self-discovery. every good artist paints what he is.
