Kenny Burrell is the grand master of jazz guitar.

I'd like to play for you one of my compositions, my only composition.

It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play.

Mutual respect is so important because as soon as it disappears in relations between you and the next person, there's trouble.

One of the reasons we're here is to be a part of this process of exchange.

Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins.

Many critics always saw and heard that my style comes from Roy Eldridge, which is true. But for many things, not only how to play the trumpet but the way to choose the notes, how to play them and how to phrase all of them, I took that from Sweets [Edison]. He really brought something new to the trumpet.
