14/11/2006 Quotes: ART BLAKEY

If you feel like patting your feet, pat your feet. If you feel like clapping your hands, clap your hands. And if you feel like taking off your shoes, take off your shoes. We are here to have a ball. So we want you to leave your worldly troubles outside and come in here and swing.
(At the Jazz Corner of the World, Blue Note, 1959)
