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

The baritone can serve functions that the alto and tenor cannot, in orchestral voicing

I've appeared on some other people's albums.

If you've only got one horn playing, I still want the sense of ensemble.

Eliminating the piano means that I've always worked closer with the bass than most players.

Because if you've got the wit, you can make anything into a melody, ultimately.

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra
