Get up from that piano. You hurtin' its feelings.

I have been robbed of three million dollars all told. Everyone today is playing my stuff and I don't even get credit. Kansas City style, Chicago style, New Orleans style hell, they're all Jelly Roll style.

You can't make jazz without using certain elements of Latin music.

Jazz music is a style, not compositions; any kind of music may be played in Jazz if one has the knowledge.

My contributions were many: First clown director, with witty sayings and flashily dressed, now called master of ceremonies.

Jazz music is to be played sweet, soft, plenty rhythm.

Get up from that piano. You hurtin' its feelings.
