"I want to take some jams and really concentrate on hooking up with Page because, since he's the only one not next to me, and his sound is mainly coming from my monitor rather than through the air, it's a little harder for me to hook up with him."

"I'm not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense."

Jazz

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"I like to make records sound good. I'm more like a reducer than a producer. If an artist cannot produce themselves, what's the point?"

Artist

Quote_1.png
Branford Marsalis
"If you listen to a lot of the songs that are popular now, there's very little melody in there. People love the beat. But to musicians, it's melody, because we understand how elusive it is and how hard it is to hold."

Love

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

"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."

"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
"You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs work well as quartet songs, sometimes they don't."

Work

Branford Marsalis
"When you're dealing with music without words, titles are more a means of identification than anything else. What's the point of getting lofty?"

"One of the things that I loved about listening to Miles Davis is that Miles always had an instinct for which musicians were great for what situations. He could always pick a band, and that was the thing that separated him from everybody else."
