Other times I say: I would very much like to try to do something with this music, but after playing for a few minutes, I have to break off.

Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing.

I feel very strongly when there's no chance for me to find a key to a piece.

You have to react to what's around you in the moment, whatever the music is. Just think of it as some place you have to enter and you need to find the key.

Jazz, for me, is a closed circuit, like the term baroque in the world of classical music.

When we are on tour we also take chances.
