But anything that you hear about Japan is nothing like what you see when you actually go over there and see it, you know, in a real situation.

Jazz needs the help. It's the more sophisticated music. All the other music is on the TV, but jazz isn't.

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

You know the drum was the first instrument besides the human voice.

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

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.
