When I Found The Music

I Started In New Orleans Music And Played All Through The History Of Jazz.

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.

The Saxophone Is A Very Interesting Machine, But I'm More Interested In Music.

Nobody Was Playing The Soprano Saxophone And Certainly Nobody Was Trying To Do Anything With It. So I Was All Alone. I Didn't Know That At First.

To Me, There Is Spirit In A Reed. It's A Living Thing, A Weed, Really, And It Does Contain Spirit Of A Sort. It's Really An Ancient Vibration.
