I Believe In Racial Memory

I Believe In Racial Memory Too. I'm Sure I've Got Ancient African Blood In Me That Has Something To Do With What I Am.

As Far As Piano Players Are Concerned, Oscar Peterson Is My Very Favorite. I Also Like Mccoy Tyner. I Think That The Big Jazz Stars, Both Now And In The Past...how Shall I Say It? These Guys Are As Great As Bach, Beethoven; All Of Them. People Don't Know It Yet. If Jazz Survives And Is Put On A Pedestal As An Art Form, The Same As Classical Music Has Been Through The Years, A Hundred Years From Now The Kids Will Know Who They Were, With That Kind Of Respect.

I Can Read And Arrange, But I Can't Write.

There's No Excuse For The Young People Not Knowing Who The Heroes And Heroines Are Or Were.

Jazz Is Not Just Music, It's A Way Of Life, It's A Way Of Being, A Way Of Thinking.
