If your trumpet points straight, how am I supposed to know it’s jazz and not a geometry complaint? by Dizzy Gillespie

This is why bebop survived: none of us could mind our business.

Bird, you played so fast even your ego needed a metronome.

Dizzy, you talked like a parade and played like everybody else had homework.

Coming from the man who invented avant-garde face shape, that’s bold.

Miles, please sit down before you start acting like silence is a personality.
