I've Always Regretted The Fact

People Think That I Play Effortlessly. I Remember Doing A Record Date With Bill Evans And Afterwards He Said To Me, You Make It Sound So Easy But When I Get Right Up Next To You You're Working Hard And Making It Sound Easy!

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be...i Never Tried To Imitate Anybody, But When You Love Somebody's Music, You're Influenced...i Really Don't Know How I Developed My Sound, But It Comes From A Combination Of My Musical Conception And No Doubt The Basic Shape Of The Oral Cavity.

I've Done Some Dastardly Things But What Can I Do Except Make Amends And Apologize?

You Can Read All The Textbooks And Listen To All The Records, But You Have To Play With Musicians That Are Better Than You.
