About this Quote

This quote by Don Ellis speaks with the significance of cling oneself as an artist. It stresses the requirement to share one's own feelings and feelings with art, rather than attempting to conform to the assumptions of others. It is very important for an artist to be able to share their very own distinct point of view and to be able to produce art that clings their own private design. This quote motivates musicians to be creative as well as to take dangers, rather than attempting to suit a particular mold and mildew. It likewise motivates musicians to be open to objection and also comments, however to inevitably trust their very own reactions and feelings when producing art. By being true to oneself, a musician can produce something that is really distinct and purposeful.
