‘Jazz Demands That You Become an Individual’ — Betty Carter Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Muscle Tank

“Jazz demands that you become an individual.” Betty Carter ran her own label, Bet-Car, from 1971 and used her trio as a finishing school for young players — so this was less a theory than a hiring policy. Jazz, in her telling, keeps asking until you show up as someone: the music holds out for the individual you have yet to become.
