“Jazz is a live event punctuated by a pall of heavy tobacco smoke, the strong bite of a cocktail overladen with gin, the sight of men and women hunched over their instruments, working frenetically to produce galloping melodies, and the excited buzz of conversation and applause in a dimly lit basement bar.”

— Tom Cullen
