A jazz music quote

There's a quote I heard a long time ago about jazz music and I can't remember the exact quote or who said that. It's something along the lines of "jazz is music that always sounds like it's about to begin". Any idea?

RE: A jazz music quote




It is becoming increasingly difficult to decide where jazz starts or where it stops, where Tin Pan Alley begins and jazz ends, or even where the borderline lies between between classical music and jazz. I feel there is no boundary line
