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

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

Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art.

Bop is no love-child of jazz.

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

When I first heard music, I thought it should be very clean, very precise. Something that people could understand, something that was beautiful.

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