Miles Davis is one who writes songs when he plays.

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

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

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

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

The recording industry has changed; they're enjoying such incredible success in the pop field

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