I'm very glad to have met you. I like your playing very much.

I don't care who likes it or buys it. Because if you use that criterion, Mozart would never have written Don Giovanni, Charlie Parker would have never played anything but swing music.

Master your instrument. Master the music. And then forget all that bullshit and just play.

I look at melody as rhythm.

They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.

I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
