Japanese people they hear my warmin' up and they start screamin'. They can tell it's me.It's my tone on the trumpet, it sounds like I'm speakin'.
We don't play to be seen. I'm addicted to music, not audiences.
They [police] do me like that all the time! "What you work for?".
Music is the framework around the silence.
I can hear what I want [people] to play. If you don't hear what you want someone to play, then you can't tell 'em.
I've always told the musicians in my band to play what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that's where great art and music happens.
