| "History is no longer an abstraction, but actual - not virtual - reality. For here are the Statesmen of Jazz, a truly extraordinary bunch, ranging in age from the early 90s to the middle 60s. These artists in the aggregate have performed with such legends of jazz as King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Clarence Williams, Lips Page, Andy Kirk, Cab Calloway, Roy Eldridge, Tiny Parham, Billie Holiday, Charlie Barnet, Eddie South, Lester Young and many others. Thereys hardly a great name in jazz with whom one or more of these Statesmen hasnyt had contact." -- Dan Morgenstern (Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University |
