It's just music. It's playing clean and looking for the pretty notes.

I can play all I know in eight bars.

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.

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

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.

Man, there's no boundary line to art!

Bop is no love-child of jazz.
