I was always willing to say, "Let's see what happens," when something came up that looked like it might help me get a little closer to where I wanted to be . . .

I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter.

I don't dig that two-beat jive the New Orleans cats play. My boys and I have to have four heavy beats to the bar and no cheating.

Freddie Green has been my right arm for thirty years. And if he leaves the band one day, I'll probably leave with him.
