Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.

I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

There's something interesting about playing live; you're in the moment, and I think it would be beneficial.

I play every day. It's like a habit for me now. I just, if I don't play, I kind of miss - something's off.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.
