I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.
Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.
It will be the first time I've played live with a double bass.
It was by listening to Goodman's band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.
I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.
George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.
