“The thing that keeps jazz alive, even if it’s under
the radar, is that it is so free and so open to not only lend its influence to
other genres, but to borrow and be influenced by other genres. That’s the way
it breathes.” —Jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, quoted in Nate Chinen, “So Many Sounds, but Jazz Is the Core,” The New York Times, December 1, 2013
