We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself.
You blows who you is.
To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question!
The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
You either have it or you don't. You play your horn just like you sing a song or a hymn. If it's in your heart, you express yourself in the tune.
