It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.

I never thought that the music called "jazz" was ever meant to reach just a small group of people, or become a museum thing locked under glass like all the other dead things that were once considered artistic.

We don't play to be seen. I'm addicted to music, not audiences.

If you sacrifice your art because of some woman, or some man, or for some color, or for some wealth, you can't be trusted.

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's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.

I never thought Jazz was meant to be a museum piece like other dead things once considered artistic.
