Quote of the Day (Leonard Bernstein, on Jazz)


"Jazz in the 20th century has entered the mind and spirit of America; if an American is a sensitive creator, jazz will have become part of his palette, whether or not he is aware of it."—Leonard Bernstein, “The Absorption of Race Elements Into American Music” (Harvard Bachelor’s Thesis, 1939), in Findings (1982)
