Wynton Marsalis Democracy Quotations

We always hear about the rights of democracy, but the major responsibility of it is participation.

I have absolutely no idea what my generation did to enrich our democracy. We dropped the ball. We entered a period of complacency and closed our eyes to the public corruption of our democracy.

There's so much spirit of integration and democracy in jazz.

The black hole in democracy is integrity. The great unspoken is integrity. When integrity is not first and foremost, it's quite palpable but not visible. It's always there. Jazz highlights it because musicians and jazz always represented a high level of integrity.

Jazz is democracy in music.
