I made it easier for many artists to play in certain areas.

When I was doing jazz concerts in America, I would use the biggest names I could find.

The history of all big jazz bands shows was, first they played for dancing, and then they played for singing.

I'm concerned with trend. I don't know where jazz fans will come from 20 years from now.

I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.

If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers.
