David Murray Quotes

"I call [the 'Young Lions'] neo-con artists. That's my new term 'cause they call
themselves neo-conservatives. They're conning the public into thinking that nothing happened in jazz since the 50's, including some of the great innovations from John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis and everybody who was happening during that time. They're conning the public into thinking that they're the guys who actually created this stuff, when actually they're just playing a tired version of some music that really has some fire to it." - David Murray
