25 Across on #2 = Arvil Shaw

Very good, BillF. Those are correct.

You did not Google the dates?

clue:

2 are not obviously anagrams.

I'm impressed you got 'Willis'.

8 across: Joe Venuti

24 across: Fats Waller

JSngry & BillF, yes

Down 9, 13, 15, 16 & 21 are medium hard, I think.

4 Down is a little out of the box. It's not an anagram.

There is nothing to figure out.

You either know who said the quote or Google to find out to complete the crossword.

Keeping away from Google, the only ones I know are 5 across: Art Blakey and 18 down: Cannonball.

There is one that Miles (Davis, a famous jazz musician) says on a Prestige record.

A charming L. Armstrong quote.

Well known Cannonball quote from a record. 'At The Lighthouse', I think.

I've started to look out for jazz quotes because of this. Who's this then? "A sax is like a pair of shoes. If you get a pair that are comfortable, you can learn how to do any kind of dance in them."
