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

If I think about the way I was drawn into the music, it was much more by recordings than by live performances.

Those early steps are very important in understanding the evolution. But in themselves, maybe now you need the later records to understand the significance of the earlier records!

I think the voice does that perfectly adequately without being imitated by other instruments.

The argument we always used to use was that keeping records in the catalog was good for people that were coming new to the music, but I think that was talking over a ten year or fifteen year time span.

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

To speak about notation as the only way that you can guarantee structure of course is already very suspect.
