Coltrane, you cant play everything at once!

That's the way women do. The frown. They want to give you the attitude to approach them back, by giving you a negative vibe.

It took me twenty years study and practice to work up to what I wanted to play in this performance. How can she expect to listen five minutes and understand it?

It's a different ballgame now, so that lets [teo] Macero out. He's always complainin', always sick.

Everybody ought to listen to Benny [Carter]. He's a whole musical education.

Dave [Holland] plays the way he wants to play. And it's usually what's needed. You know, Dave is such a deep thinker. You can't tell him too much, else it might spoil his spirit, you know.

I gave the album [You're Under Arrest] to Quincy Jones and he loved "D Train". We couldn't call it "D Train"; it's called "MDI/Something's On Your Mind/MD2". That's on the album.
