You Must Have The Music To Justify An Instrument's Extensive Use.

Risk Is At The Heart Of Jazz. Every Note We Play Is A Risk.

A Jazz Musician Is A Combination Orator, Dialectician, Mathematician, Athlete, Entertainer, Poet, Singer, Dancer, Diplomat, Educator, Student, Comedian, Artist, Seducer, Public Masturbator, And General All-round Good Fellow.

In Composition You Have All The Time You Want To Decide What To Say In 15 Seconds, In Improvisation You Have 15 Seconds.

I Think It Is In Collaboration That The Nature Of Art Is Revealed.
