Lester Bowie Quotes

The trumpet is forceful.
Lester Bowie

They always say that jazz doesn't sell, but it's a lie, because it does sell, and it sells consistently year in and year out.
Lester Bowie

We're just beginning to learn the importance of music in our society.
Lester Bowie 

I'm only involved really right now with the Art Ensemble of Chicago and the Brass Fantasy. I do special projects such as the one we're doing with Ntozake. I'm working, also right now, with the Diane McIntyre dance ensemble. We're working on a dance project. But mostly it's just the Art Ensemble and Brass Fantasy now. That keeps me busy full time, sure does.
