When Things Are Going Well,

Most Of The International Acceptance Of Jazz Education Can Be Traced To The University Of North Texas, Denton, Texas, And The Wonderful Program They Inaugurated.

After The Second World War, I Returned To California To Study Composition With Darius Milhaud, Who Wrote Wonderful Works Like 'le Boeuf Sur Le Toit' And 'la Cretion Du Monde.' I Especially Enjoy His Work For Two Pianos, 'scaramouche.

Many People Don't Understand How Disciplined You Have To Be To Play Jazz... And That Is Really The Idea Of Democracy - Freedom Within The Constitution Or Discipline. You Don't Just Get Out There And Do Anything You Want.

I Never Wanted This Kind Of Life That Im Still Living.

You Could Play Probably A Span Of 50 Years Of Me Playing St. Louis Blues, And Most Of The Time It Will Be Different Every Time.
