There are many of these apparent philosophical paradoxes or contradictions which don't concern me anymore.

In my mind these two instruments speak to me in different ways, and the solo stuff seems to be easier to do on the soprano.

I've been to the studio several times, and it's not that I'm not happy with what I've got, but each time I come away, I feel that I've learned something that I want to work on.

I've never been one that thinks that the function of an instrument is to approach the purity of voice or the structure of a beautifully sung line.

Remarkable only the very best arrangers can get a sound like that from four horns

You know, the whole philosophy of ad hoc combinations has its strengths and its weaknesses.

I think the solo playing, the decision to start playing solo, came out of having discovered what lay behind the doors that that technique opened for me.
