Famous quotes by Jan Hammer:

"The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing."

"It's not really that I didn't want to perform at all. What I didn't want to do was try to put together a band, rehearse, on my own. You know what I mean?"

"CDs, as a physical product, are almost finished. Basically it's going to be "Wide World of Online.""

"Maybe there'll be new bits of music that will start showing up. You know? Like what happened in the 60s. Everything just broke wide open. Music started getting connected between Jazz and Rock and Pop. Everything was wide open, there was much more freedom. Hopefully something like that will happen again."

"If you think about it, the word "composing" or to compose, means to put together. So, you have to know what to put together and what to leave out."

"Still for fun, I play the drums, but I don't do much recording with them."

"The band couldn't have happened anywhere else in the world but New York. That was the catalyst."

"Emotions are the fuel to really move you along - that's the only way you can create music. If you don't feel any emotions, it's not going to happen."

"I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing."

"I'm so far removed from live playing any more."

"It was very hard to get any records, so the only source for us to really hear what was happening was listening to the Voice of America. We would be taping all the broadcast and then sharing the tapes and talking about it."

"Growing up, I was very much interested in jazz music."

"I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years."

"My mother is a singer, still performs today; she's a jazz singer."

"The passion and spontaneity in music is all gone."

"You never know what you find once you really get going."
