Music is either good or bad, and it's got to be learned. You got to have balance.

I'm a spade, you're an ofay. Let's play.

You blows who you is.

Never play a thing the same way twice.

What we play is life.

Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine, I look right into the heart of good old New Orleans. It has given me something to live for.

Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.
