| | David Baker |  | It is rare that even a jazz musician finds an individual voice. |
| | Lester Bowie | | I always tell my students when you're going to be a jazz musician the first thing you've got to do is be a professional musician, and that means you have to feed yourself with the instrument. |
| | Anthony Davis | | I knew I could never be accepted as a straight-ahead jazz musician, nor would I accept myself as that. I would never be accepted as a minimalist. I wouldn't be a downtown composer. Because I find all orthodoxies, all doctrines to be ultimately banal. |
| | Pete Fountain | | You know, it's funny... when you're making money, people don't think you're playing jazz. Now when you're not making money, people think that you're a good jazz musician. |
| | Andy Garcia | | I approach my work musically a lot in terms of the way maybe a jazz musician would approach an improvisation on a theme. |
| | Benny Green | | A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges. |
| | Herbie Hancock | | I am still a jazz musician and not a pop star in terms of money and so I have to take care of my family first, then my extended family and my country." |
| | Edgar Winter | | I'm really indebted to Johnny. He was my first musical hero. Were it not for him, things would have happened quite differently. I can envision myself as maybe a starving jazz musician. I never had any inclination towards fame or stardom. I just love music. Johnny was more ambitious and outgoing. I was the weird and quiet guy who played all the instruments. |
