Mercedes-Benz JAZZ MASTER SERIES

"I was making good money, but I wasn't playing any jazz. So I got disgusted, saved some money, moved back to Philly and just decided that I'm only gonna play jazz. I'm not going to play weddings. I'm not gonna take any bad gigs, and if I had to I would take a day gig for a while, and I did. I tended bar for two years. And it paid off. I wish somebody in school would have told me that." - Jimmy Bruno

 

"You couldn't say Jimmy Bruno is grand or great... he's all those. He is tops!" - Hank Garland

 

"Bruno... Maaaan!" - George Benson
