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

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.

If you don't get substantially what you want, be ready to walk. And don't look back.

I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.

I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe.
