The Only Reason To Write

I Never Thought That The Music Called "jazz" Was Ever Meant To Reach Just A Small Group Of People, Or Become A Museum Thing Locked Under Glass Like All The Other Dead Things That Were Once Considered Artistic.

If You Have To Ask, You'll Never Know.

When I Heard Coleman Hawkins, I Learned To Play Ballads

That Was My Gift . . . Having The Ability To Put Certain Guys Together That Would Create A Chemistry And Then Letting Them Go; Letting Them Play What They Knew, And Above It.

If You're Not Nervous Then You're Not Paying Attention.
