Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.

I still feel the impulse to give young writers a hearing, and I believe I have played more unpublished compositions than any other band leader in the country.

The vocal cord will be eliminated by a process of evolution, as was the tail of man when he came from the ape.

A band is only as good as its euphonium section.

My religion lies in my composition.

You can't drive a Spike with a Tack Hammer

Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains.
