"What I try to impart to a musician is to really try to practice the instrument in a really sincere way. Learn as much about music as you possibly can. Learn composition. Study to try to create compositions of your own and put your own personal touch on your music."

"There's a certain kind of motion and pacing that our music has, and this just doesn't have that. We just kind of rushed to the conclusion of most of the songs. I just would've preferred to done them over."

"I feel that after all those horrible reviews and jokes, I wasn't crazy all these years to stand up for the music I believe in. This album has proven that somewhere in the human race, the human heart is still racing and breaking and I am so grateful."

Music

Branford Marsalis
"We played it as long as we could play it on that CD and I think it might be 50 minutes, maybe. What you have to do is play a couple of songs and then get off the stage because everything that trails it sounds stupid."

Play

Branford Marsalis
"If I were like a lot of other people, then it wouldn't be fun; but since I'm like me, it's okay."

"It's something that jazz has gotten away from, and it's unfortunate. Players aren't physical anymore."

Jazz

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they're a little tight-because it's a lot of money to start up a company."

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there's no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don't know as much about music."

Music

Branford Marsalis
"There's not one Tin Pan Alley song on my record."

Music

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician."
