The first thing I ever heard about synthesizers, they were being used in rock.

Jazz has borrowed from other genres of music and also has lent itself to other genres of music.

Most people define themselves by what they do - 'I'm a musician.' Then one day it occurred to me that I'm only a musician when I'm playing music - or writing music, or talking about music. I don't do that 24 hours a day. I'm also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen - I mean, when I go to vote, I'm not thinking of myself as 'a musician.'

I look for what's of value and extract that. I don't look to criticize.

It is people's hearts that move the age.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

While knowledge may provide useful point of reference, it cannot become a force to guide the future.
