चार्ली पार्कर अब तक के सबसे महान एकल संगीतकार थे। बैंड का हर वाद्य यंत्र चार्ली पार्कर की नकल करने की कोशिश करता था, और जैज़ के इतिहास में ऐसा कभी कोई एक आदमी नहीं हुआ जिसने सभी वाद्य यंत्रों को इतना प्रभावित किया हो।

Charlie Parker was the greatest individual musician that ever lived. Every instrument in the band tried to copy Charlie Parker, and in the history of jazz there had never been one man who influenced all the instruments.

जैज़ खुशी के लिए है। यह उल्लास, भावनाओं, पीड़ा, रोमांच और उस हर उस आनंद के लिए है जो महान कला पैदा कर सकती है, और अगर यह अपनी यह खूबी खो दे, तो इसने सब कुछ खो दिया है।

Jazz is for joy. It's for euphoria, it's for emotion, and anguish, and excitement, and all of the joys that great art can produce, and if it loses that, then it's lost everything.

कोई नहीं जानता कि जैज़ किस दिशा में जा रहा है, क्योंकि कोई कभी नहीं जानता था कि जैज़ कहाँ जा रहा है। मेरा मतलब है, आप 20 के दशक से स्विंग एरा (Swing Era) की भविष्यवाणी नहीं कर सकते थे, न ही स्विंग एरा से बेबॉप (bebop) की, न ही बेबॉप से ​​अवार्ड-गार्ड (Avant-garde) की, या एफ़्यूज़न (Effusion) की, और इसी तरह आगे भी। इसलिए, हम वास्तव में नहीं जानते कि यह कहाँ जा रहा है।

Nobody knows where jazz is going, because nobody has ever known where jazz was going. I mean, you couldn't possibly predict the Swing Era from the '20's or bebop from the Swing Era or Avant-garde from Bebop, or Effusion, or on and on and on. So, we don't really know where it's going.

यदि मैं किसी रिकॉर्ड की समीक्षा कर रहा हूँ, यार, तो मैं उस रिकॉर्ड को बार-बार सुनता हूँ, जो एक तरह से विडंबनापूर्ण है क्योंकि अगर मैं किसी कॉन्सर्ट की समीक्षा कर रहा हूँ तो मुझे अपने आप पर बहुत भरोसा होता है, निश्चित रूप से इस मोड़ पर, और अपने पूरे करियर में रहा है। आप इसे सिर्फ एक बार सुनते हैं और फिर अपने टाइपराइटर पर जाकर समीक्षा लिख देते हैं।

If I'm reviewing a record, man, I play that record to death, which is ironic in a way because if I review a concert I feel very confident in myself, certainly at this point, and have for most of my career. You're only hearing it once and then you go to your typewriter and you write the review.

मुझे लगता है कि हम सभी की शुरुआत लेखकों के रूप में होती है। मैं आठ साल की उम्र से ही एक लेखक बनना चाहता था, जैज़ के बारे में सुनने से बहुत पहले। सवाल यह है कि एक बार जब आपके मन में यह जुनून सवार हो जाता है, तो आपका विषय क्या होगा और अक्सर आपको कुछ समय तक इसका पता नहीं चलता। यह फिक्शन हो सकता है, नॉन-फिक्शन हो सकता है, और अगर यह नॉन-फिक्शन है तो यह किसी भी दिशा में जा सकता है।

I think all of us begin as writers. I wanted to be a writer from the time I as eight, long before I heard of jazz. The question is, once you have that obsession, what is your subject going to be and you often don't know for some time. It might become fiction, it might be non-fiction, and if it's non-fiction it can go in any number of directions.

Even my colleagues don't read classic criticism. And my feeling is that if you don't do that then you're not really practicing your craft. That's how you learn how to do it.

कुछ समीक्षाएँ ऐसी होती हैं जो स्पष्ट रूप से गलत होती हैं। डॉ. जॉनसन की प्रसिद्ध 'लाइफ ऑफ़ सैवेज', सैवेज के महत्व के बारे में उनका आकलन स्पष्ट रूप से गलत है। लेकिन यह अंग्रेजी साहित्य की महान कृतियों में से एक है। आप उससे कलात्मक अभिव्यक्ति के बारे में, एक कवि क्या करता है और कला के बारे में कैसे लिखा जाए, इसके बारे में इतना कुछ सीख सकते हैं जितना कि आप उन अनगिनत लोगों से नहीं सीख सकते जो भयानक लेखक हैं, जिनका कोई मौलिक विचार नहीं है, लेकिन जो सिर्फ इतना कहते हैं, "हैमलेट" एक शानदार नाटक है। यह एक अर्थहीन बात है।

There are reviews that are clearly wrong. Dr. Johnson's famous Life of Savage, he's clearly wrong about the value of Savage. But it's one of the great works in English literature. You can learn more about the artistic expression and what the poet does and how to write about art from that than any number of guys who are terrible writers, who have no original ideas, but who say yes, "Hamlet" is a wonderful play.

मैं किसी ऐसे संगीतकार से बहुत ज़्यादा रोमांचित नहीं हो पाता जो आर्ट टैटम की नकल कर सके क्योंकि मेरे पास आर्ट टैटम के रिकॉर्ड हैं। मैं चाहता हूँ कि वह उससे प्रेरणा ले और कुछ ऐसा करे जो पहले कभी न किया गया हो। और संगीत की दुनिया में ऐसा काफ़ी कुछ हो रहा है जो इसे बहुत रोमांचक बनाए रखता है। बहुत सारे महान युवा कलाकार सामने आ रहे हैं। मुझे लगता है कि हम किसी तरह के पुनर्जागरण के दौर से गुजर रहे हैं, खासकर रिदम सेक्शन में। मेरा मतलब है कि ड्रम, बास और गिटार पर बजाने वाले संगीतकार वास्तव में रिदम सेक्शन को एक साथ लाने के अलग-अलग तरीके ढूंढने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं।

I can't get very excited about a musician who can do Art Tatum because I've got the Art Tatum records. I want to hear him take that and do something that hasn't been done. And there's enough of that going around that keeps the music very exciting. There's so many great young players coming out. I think we're in some kind of renaissance, especially in the rhythm section. I mean the musicians on drums and bass and guitar are really trying to figure out different ways to bring a rhythm section together.

आज इस उम्र में, अपनी बीस साल की बेटी के साथ यह देखकर मुझे अचरज होता है कि उसकी पीढ़ी के बच्चों को ब्लैक एंड व्हाइट फिल्में देखना पसंद नहीं है। मैं समझ सकता हूँ कि उन्होंने मूक फिल्मों से तौबा कर ली, लेकिन ब्लैक एंड व्हाइट से भी? इसलिए अब अकादमिक जगत में फिल्मों को पढ़ाना पड़ता है क्योंकि लोग नहीं जानते कि उन्हें कैसे देखा जाए, उनकी सराहना कैसे की जाए।

जब मैं आलोचना (क्रिटicism) पढ़ाता हूँ, तो हमेशा इस बात पर जोर देता हूँ कि युवा आलोचकों—या जो आलोचक बनना चाहते हैं—में अक्सर यह भ्रम होता है कि यदि वे संगीत के बारे में लिखते हैं तो वे किसी तरह संगीत का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं, या फिल्मों के बारे में लिखकर फिल्मों का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं, या थिएटर के बारे में लिखकर थिएटर का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं, या साहित्य पर लिखकर साहित्य का हिस्सा बन जाते हैं। लिखना साहित्य का ही एक हिस्सा है, हम साहित्य प्रजाति से ताल्लुक रखते हैं। अगर आप अब तक लिखे गए सभी संगीत समीक्षकों को एक जगह मिला दें, तो भी वे संगीत के दो सुर नहीं बना सकते।

One of the things I always underscore when I teach criticism is that young critics, or would be critics, frequently have this illusion that if they write about music they're somehow part of music, or if they write about movies they're part of movies, or of they write about theater they're part of theater, or write about literature. Writing is a part of literature, we belong the species of literature. If you add all the music reviews together that have ever been written, they don't create two notes of music.

मैं एक आलोचक हूँ। इसका मतलब है कि आप एक लेखक हैं। इसलिए हाँ, आपको किसी भी विषय पर—चाहे वह संगीत हो, फिल्में हों, साहित्य हो या कुछ और—खुद को उस विषय का विशेषज्ञ बनाना होगा। लेकिन आप वास्तव में जो करना चाहते हैं, वह अन्य लेखकों को पढ़कर अपनी कला को निखारना है। मुझे लगता है कि आपको बहुत गहराई और चाव से पढ़ना चाहिए, खासकर उन लोगों को जिन्होंने वही किया है जो आप कर रहे हैं, ताकि यह देख सकें कि उसे अतीत में कैसे किया गया था; क्या काम करता है और क्या नहीं।

I'm a critic. That means you are a writer. So, yes, you have to make yourself an authority on whatever subject it's going to be. Music, movies, literature, whatever it's going to be, but what you really want to do is learn your trade by reading other writers. I think you have to read veraciously, especially people who have done what you have done to see how it's been done in the past; what works, what doesn't work.

लिखने की शैली इस बात का नतीजा है कि आप असल में कौन हैं। मुझे लगता है कि मेरी शुरुआती रचनाओं में एक खास तरह की शैली की प्रवृत्ति थी जिसे मैं पहचान सकता हूँ, लेकिन इसका यह मतलब नहीं है कि मुझे कुछ बुनियादी चीजें नहीं सीखनी पड़ीं; आप जितना लंबे समय तक लिखते हैं, उतने ही बेहतर होते जाते हैं। वाक्य के सुर और लय आप खुद तय करते हैं। यदि लेखन की लय संगीत से मेल खाती प्रतीत होती है, तो यह बहुत अच्छी बात है जब लोग इसे महसूस करते हैं, लेकिन निश्चित रूप से यह मेरी तरफ से कोई जानबूझकर किया गया प्रयास नहीं होता है। मैं अपनी बात को जितना हो सके स्पष्ट और सटीक रखने की कोशिश करता हूँ और साथ ही साथ सुरुचिपूर्ण, हास्यप्रद और मनोरंजक बनने का प्रयास करता हूँ। मेरा मतलब है कि लिखना एक आनंद होना चाहिए।

जब मैं आलोचना पढ़ाता हूँ, तो सबसे पहली बात जो मैं कहता हूँ—और इससे कभी-कभी युवा छात्र मुझसे नाराज़ हो जाते हैं—वह यह है कि राय (opinions) आलोचना का सबसे छोटा हिस्सा हैं। हम सबके साथ ऐसा हुआ है कि हम किसी दोस्त के साथ फिल्म या कॉन्सर्ट में गए हों और थिएटर से बाहर निकलते वक्त आप में से किसी एक को वह बहुत पसंद आया हो और दूसरे को बेहद नापसंद, पर इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि आप में से कोई मूर्ख है। चीजें ऐसे ही काम करती हैं।
