I Had The First Integrated

I Got A Poster From Columbia Records, And There's Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Ellington, Count Basie - Everybody In That Poster Has Died, I'm The Only One Left. And Great Players Like Paul Desmond And Gerry Mulligan, It's Hard To Believe They're Gone Because We Were All So Close. But I Believe In The Future And The Tradition Will Go On.

It's Like A Whole Orchestra, The Piano For Me.

Many People Don't Understand How Disciplined You Have To Be To Play Jazz... And That Is Really The Idea Of Democracy - Freedom Within The Constitution Or Discipline. You Don't Just Get Out There And Do Anything You Want.

If I Told You All The People That Have Secretly Told Me I've Influenced Them, You'd Never Believe It, And You'll Never See It In Print, Either.

I Knew Even If I'm A Cowboy, I'm Going To Be Involved In Jazz In Some Way.
