If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
~ Louis Armstrong
If you have to ask what jazz is you will never know. Louis Armstrong
Man, if you have to ask what it [jazz] is, you’ll never know.

'Cat?' 'Cat' can be anybody from the guy in the gutter to a lawyer, doctor, the biggest man to the lowest man, but if he's in there with a good heart and enjoy the same music together, he's a cat.
I had a long time admiration for the Jewish people. Especially with their long time of courage, taking so much abuse for so long. I was only seven years old, but I could easily see the ungodly treatment that the white folks were handing the poor Jewish family whom I worked for.
