Sound Is The First Thing

Many People Do Think It's Naive To Improvise In Front Of Paying Customers. I'm Not Saying One Way Is Better Than Another.

I Have Been Able To Get A Small Audience. It's Not The Huge Audience, But It's Enough To Make It Possible To Play. I Appreciate That.

Bernstein Grew Up In My Building In New York. He's A Very, Very Fine Player. When He Was A Kid, He Came By To Find Out What Was Going On In The World Of Jazz.

I Always Felt As A Horn Player, A Jam Session Wasn't Satisfying Enough For Me. I Should Have Been A Rhythm Section Player, Actually.

I Understood That If I Wanted To Work, The Saxophone Was The Main Instrument. The Clarinet Was What We Call A Double.
