The Music Speaks For Itself!

I'm Out There Doing The Best That I Can, My Lip Is Cut And I'm Still Playing.

I've Used [drum Machine] Because I Have To Have The Perfect Tempo.

Sometimes [playing Free] Doesn't Happen, Because Maybe A Guy's Wife'll Come In, You Know, And His Ego Will Catch Him. If Everybody's Completely Just Straight-without Any Old Ladies Over Here, A Fourth Of Whisky Over There; If It's Balanced Right, It'll Come Off. It Has To Be. But When You Get Egos Involved With Playing Free, You Can't Do It.

In High School I Was Best In Music Class On The Trumpet, But The Prizes Went To The Boys With Blue Eyes. I Made Up My Mind To Outdo Anybody White On My Horn.

You Can Tell Whether A Person Plays Well Or Not By The Way He Carries The Instrument, Whether It Means Something To Him Or Not.
