"When I went to New York to work with the Dap Kings, we actually recorded the 8 track. In Vancouver, we did 'StarDust' and we did 'Somebody Loves You' and it was live on the floor, we did three takes. And we took the best one. And while it wasn't as perfect as some of my previous records -it wasn't as slick, or as flawless- to me, there was such presence and such energy, and I felt that -for me- that had been lacking a little bit, and I was really really happy that I could feel this record, as opposed to sounding good, it felt good." - Michael Buble

Clark Terry Quotes
"That's one thing I love about Norman Granz - when you walk in the studio with him, he turns the set on, and the way you feel, the way you play it, nine times out of ten, he's gonna take that first take. He says: 'That's what you intended. That's the way you felt it.' And he's more than likely right in most instances. Unless there's a very bad blunder, a goof, or something goes askew somewhere along the way; then of course, you have to do it all over again. Norman realizes that guys want to do their best. And usually, when you try very hard, if you know your craft, your best thing will come out on the first take, anyhow." - Clark Terry
Herbie Hancock Quotes
"Miles' sessions were not typical of anybody else's sessions. They were totally unique." - Herbie Hancock
Eberhard Weber Quotes
"There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one - seven years. You're never really sure if it will be a nice record or not." - Eberhard Weber
Chuck Mangione Quotes

Charlie Hunter Quotes
"Bobby is really the one who did all the editing on that stuff. And he did all the mixing. I particularly like the record we did with Logic because Scott Harding did a great job mixing it. He's really a killing engineer." - Charlie Hunter

Roy Ayers Quotes
"Back in the day, I used to be in the studio recording 20 hours a day. And that was all of the time. I still record a lot of hours, but I don't go as long as I used to." - Roy Ayers
Stan Getz Quotes
"We made records to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records. I still feel that way. I put out a record because I think it's beautiful, not necessarily commercial." - Stan Getz
Stanley Clarke Quotes
"I think I've done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it's all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it's been great." - Stanley Clarke
Cab Calloway Quotes
"We usually never got out of there before four or five o'clock in the morning. Every morning. So it was rough." -Cab Calloway
Billie Holiday Quotes
