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

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.

It's very clean. With tape, you get noise.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

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.
