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

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

Miles Davis is one who writes songs when he plays.

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

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

New York is still where I live most of the time.

People are approaching electronic levels in music; although not all of it happens to tickle my fancy
