In a piece he wrote for the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival, King had this to say about the role of music in our lives:"God has wrought many things out of oppression. He has endowed his creatures with the capacity to create, and from this capacity has flowed the sweet songs of sorrow and joy that have allowed man to cope with his environment and many different situations."
