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

I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway.

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.

Actually John, Paul Rutherford, and Trevor Watts, and several other rather well known English jazz musicians had got their training by joining the Air Force, which was a pretty standard way for people to get some kind of musical education in those days.

I didn't get where I am today by being timid, young man.

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.

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