Bay Chamber Concerts

"The basic difference between classical music and jazz is that in the former the music is always greater than its performance - Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, for instance, is always greater than its performance - whereas the way jazz is performed is always more important than what is being performed."

- André Previn
