My future starts when I wake up every morning.
Coltrane, you cant play everything at once!
If you got up on the bandstand at Minton's and couldn't play, you were not only going to be embarrassed by the people ignoring you or booing you, you might get your ass kicked.
Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.
I'm out there doing the best that I can, My lip is cut and I'm still playing.
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?
