Some day I'm gonna call me up on the phone, so when I answer, I can tell myself to shut up.
I've come close to matching the feeling of that night in 1944 in music, when I first heard Diz and Bird, but I've never got there. . . . I'm always looking for it, listening and feeling for it, though, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play everyday.
Coltrane, you cant play everything at once!
You can't play anything on a horn that Louis Armstrong hasn't played
I'll play it first and figure out what it's called later.
People will go for anything they don't understand if it's got enough hype.
