“Freedom is to make room where there isn’t any to start with. You take a music part. It seems there’s no freedom in there, but if you take the time, and if you understand what’s in the part, you’ll find as much freedom as you want. You can also throw the part away, sit down on the piano, play with your elbows and say: ‘This is freedom.’ Not for me. The most valuable freedom is the one which has strength, because it is won against something solid, something rigid.” - Bill Evans Interview with Jazz Magazine (France), 1965 (quoted at www.jazzquotations.com)
