It's true I've always been attracted to the jazz band in an orchestral way, rather than a band way.

People talk about innovations and evolutions and that kind of thing; I don't understand about that nonsense. It's like, all instruments are there to use all the time

This life of being a transient human being has gotten to a point when it's very hard to bear

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

The Russian composers, especially, tricked the symphony orchestra into the kind of dynamic, rhythmic thing

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

When I began listening to saxophones, I was first attracted to Coleman Hawkins
