I always felt as a horn player, a jam session wasn't satisfying enough for me. I should have been a rhythm section player, actually.

I have been able to get a small audience. It's not the huge audience, but it's enough to make it possible to play. I appreciate that.

That's kind of my goal: to build a new row of meaningful tones.

I just completed a tour in Europe. I played every night. This requires traveling some days for six hours in a van or a train or a car. After six weeks of that, I checked into the hotel and just fell apart.

Sound is the first thing that we tune into.

Out of Coltrane's whole history, there are things which I think are great from all the periods.

Names and theoretical things don't occur to me. If they do, I'm not doing my real playing mode.
