The French - they like jazz, theyve been on jazz a long time.

Theres so much beautiful music in the world, and the kids are getting robbed.

The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.

I enjoy seeing young people being interested in what they can do.

Because the stuff that they feed kids now, they'll have a bunch of idiots in the next millennium as far as art and culture is concerned.

The Japanese actually approach the music on a high level. It's always been on a high level.

If somebody would come and they're not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.
