To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I've been doing that for 20 years.

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.

In 1958, I decided that I was going to live in Europe permanently. So in 1959 I moved to Lugano, Switzerland.

I don't know who's 18 years old today that, 20 years hence, is going to be a jazz fan.

Jazz is America's own. It is played and listened to by all peoples - in harmony together. Pigmentation differences have no place... as in genuine democracy, only performance counts.
