You either swing a band or don't swing a band and that's what's lacking today.. There aren't any guys who get back there and play with any kind of guts.

There are only two types of music.good and bad.

If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician.

I mean, I think I liked every band I ever played in because each band was different, each band had a different concept, and each band leader was different... different personalities and musical tastes.

If you think you stink, you probably do.

I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way.

Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity.
