Yogi Berra Explains Jazz
Interviewer: Can you explain jazz?
Yogi: I can't, but I will. 90 percent of all jazz is half improvisation. The other
half is the part people play while others are playing something they never
played with anyone who played that part. So if you play the wrong part, its
right. If you play the right part, it might be right if you play it wrong 
enough. But if you play it too right, it's wrong.
Interviewer: I don't understand.
Yogi: Anyone who understands jazz knows that you can't understand it. It's
too complicated. That's whats so simple about it. 
Interviewer: Do you understand it?
Yogi: No. That's why I can explain it. If I understood it, I wouldnt know
anything about it.
Interviewer: Are there any great jazz players alive today? 
Yogi: No. All the great jazz players alive today are dead. Except for the
ones that are still alive. But so many of them are dead, that the ones that
are still alive are dying to be like the ones that are dead. Some would kill 
for it.
Interviewer: What is syncopation?
Yogi: That's when the note that you should hear now happens either before
or after you hear it. In jazz, you don't hear notes when they happen because 
that would be some other type of music. Other types of music can be jazz,
but only if they're the same as something different from those other kinds.
Interviewer: Now I really don't understand. 
Yogi: I haven't taught you enough for you to not understand jazz that well.

Well, there you have it, Jazz. LOL :)
