I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.

What I learned in my time isn't necessarily being taught now, and I'd like to help impart that knowledge to a new generation of players.

There are rap groups that have a positive outlook in their art. These groups should be shown as an alternative to gangsta rap.

Black people don't have an accurate idea of their history, which has been either suppressed or distorted.

When I was a kid, no one would believe anything positive that you could say about black people. That's a terrible burden.

If they took the idea that they could escape poverty through education, I think it would make a more basic and long-lasting change in the way things happen. What we need are positive, realistic goals and the willingness to work. Hard work and practical goals.

The extra pass and the extra effort on defense always get the job done.
