Billy Higgins Music Quotations

Look, jazz has always had, because of its origins, that's the only reason. It's the only reason it's like that. Where it came from. It's not accepted.

The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.

If somebody would come and they're not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.

If everybody gets in there and sees that and understands that, then it lets them know that they're all human beings and creatures of God.

It doesn't have anything to do with yesterday or tomorrow, it's all right now.

I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there's one way that you do something, and that's the only way. In jazz, it's a lot different.

The first thing is, jazz is one of the few things to let you know that there is a God and there is a creation.

The United States is a beautiful place, you know?

Music. It's all creativity right here, right now.
