John Lennon once said, “Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.” It's good he thought that, considering how many albums have built on his sound over the decades, including this week's Needle Drop Record.

Eddie Palmieri once said, “There are a lot of young musicians out there performing what they think is Latin jazz but instead is jazz Latin. And there's a difference... My mission is to keep [Latin jazz] alive.”

Tina Turner once said, “Sometimes you have to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything - whatever is bringing you down - get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”
