Chico Hamilton quotes
" A lot of musicians aren't proud; they'll do other work, just to be able to play music. I guess that's the way it's always going to be - musicians will have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet. "

Chico Hamilton
" All you can do is try to play your instrument to the best of your ability, to perform the music to its peak form. "

Chico Hamilton
" And I'm happy to say that I'm able to find people wherever I go that are not black, not white - they're just human beings. That's where I am, where I've been and where I intend to stay. "

Chico Hamilton
" And it's impossible for me to have those players play with me at this stage of the game; all those guys are famous and, I suppose, wealthy now. "

Chico Hamilton
" As for freedom: as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as freedom in music, regardless of what form it takes. "

Chico Hamilton
" At Ronnie's, we had young kids who enjoyed it so much they came in every night. Something else - a lot of the old jazz diehards dug it, too. "

Chico Hamilton
" At this stage of my life, I've dedicated myself to playing what I want to play, how I want to play it for the rest of my time. Regardless of whether one might like it or one might not like it, this is where I am. "

Chico Hamilton
" But you can't extend, or go beyond any point musically, without the basic fundamentals. "

Chico Hamilton
" Coming out of the big bands, I started accompanying, and I guess that is what led up to it. Because I learned quite a bit, by being an accompanist. "

Chico Hamilton
" For the last five years I've been in the production business. "

Chico Hamilton
" Fortunately, I would say that, with anyone under the age of twenty - five, that's all they know is this volume. "

Chico Hamilton
" I don't dig staying in one groove. "

Chico Hamilton
" I have a company in New York City producing music for commercials, for radio, TV, features, etc. That's how I've been making my living. And now the company is very successful - to the extent that I can afford to come out and play. "

Chico Hamilton
" I mean, there's a hell of a lot of grounds for protest, but you don't do it through music. "

Chico Hamilton
" I'm quite sure that all true professional artists, of every description, in all walks of life, whether their craft is painting, music, sculpture, medicine or anything, have one primary concern - mankind. "
