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

I can play all I know in eight bars.

Don't be afraid, just play the music.

Some guys said 'Here's bop!' Wham! They said, 'Here's something we can make money on!' Wham! 'Here's a comedian!' Wham! Here's a guy who talks funny talk!'

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom.

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

I look at melody as rhythm.
