Henry Red Allen's epitaph

“I have no fears about the future of jazz. This music can’t die out while there are always new generations of musicians trying new things. I only hope that they also combine their innovations with listening to some of the players who have gone before them.”

[Henry Red Allen, as quoted in Jazz Masters of New Orleans by Martin Williams]

“No temo por el futuro del jazz. Esta música no morirá mientras haya nuevas generaciones de músicos probando cosas nuevas. Sólo espero que combinen sus innovaciones con la escucha de algunos de los músicos anteriores a ellos.”

[Henry Red Allen, citado en Jazz Masters of New Orleans, de Martin Williams]
