Norman Granz

Norman Granz
" I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with. "

Norman Granz
" I don't think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it. "

Norman Granz
" I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan. "

Norman Granz
" I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe. "
