The Worst Thing About The

I Prefer No One To Teach Me. I Prefer To Swing On My Own.

I Don't Think You Can Separate A Person's "style" And His Persona. If You're Writing Or Improvising Honestly, You Will Inevitably Reflect Who You Are.

I Got A Poster From Columbia Records, And There's Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Ellington, Count Basie - Everybody In That Poster Has Died, I'm The Only One Left. And Great Players Like Paul Desmond And Gerry Mulligan, It's Hard To Believe They're Gone Because We Were All So Close. But I Believe In The Future And The Tradition Will Go On.

Jazz Is About The Only Form Of Art Existing Today In Which There Is Freedom Of The Individual Without The Loss Of Group Contact.

It's Like A Whole Orchestra, The Piano For Me.
