Miles Davis is one who writes songs when he plays.

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

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

In a way, I started out to be a baritone player.

I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.

Actually, when I was very young, first starting to play, I think I probably listened more to clarinet players than to saxophones.

When [Billy] Strayhorn came on the scene, he just blew us away.
