If you can't play the Blues you might as well hang it up.

When you know the lyrics to a tune, you have some kind of insight as to it's composition.

I hope we left you with something to put under your pillows.

What I'm doing, I prefer to call that jazz, because it is a beautiful word - I love it.

If I were to call it black music, that would be untrue. I don't know what that is, unless it would be some African drums or something.

Bebop is the music of the future (as soon as they learn how to play it).

Jazz is a beautiful word. I love it.
