I think the majority of musicians are interested in truth.

During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD.

The reason I play so many sounds, maybe it sounds angry, is because I'm trying so many things at one time, you see? I haven't sorted them out. I have a whole bag of things that I'm trying to work through and get the one essential.

Any time you play your horn, it helps you. If you get down, you can help yourself even in a rock 'n' roll band.

We should pray and seek for knowledge which would enable us to portray and project the things we love in music, in a way that might wholly or in some part, be appreciated as having been conceived and composed or performed and presented with dedication and in positive taste

The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe.

I believe that men are here to grow themselves into the best good that they can be - at least, this is what I want to do.
