"Itâ€™s like a language. You learn the alphabet, which are the scales. You learn sentences, which are the chords. And then you talk extemporaneously with the horn. Itâ€™s a wonderful thing to speak extemporaneously, which is something Iâ€™ve never gotten the hang of.Â But musically I love to talk just off the top of my head. And thatâ€™s what jazz music is all about."

-- Stan Getz
