I like what I hear other guys doing, but the thing that really attracts me is melodic playing.

Life on the road is murder. It's as though life begins and ends when you have your horn in your mouth.

Miles Davis is one who writes songs when he plays.

What I came back to is that jazz is a music to be played and not to be intellectualized on.

You can make a saxophone into an electric organ; you can do everything with it
