If You Have Music You

When I Found The Music Of Monk I Finally Found Music That Fit That Horn. Every One Of His Tunes Fit It Perfectly.

Saxophone Is One Thing, And Music Is Another.

The More Original Something Is, The More Of A Threat It Seems Until The People Catch Up With It. That Happened With Thelonious Monk. It Happened With Anybody Who Is Really Original.

When I Came Up, It Was All About Originality And Collective Research. There Is An Awful Lot Of Imitation Going On Now.
