I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.

Montreal was a very active jazz center until club owners started putting in strippers instead of music. Before long, there was nothing to hear.

It's the group sound that's important, even when you're playing a solo. You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz.

He's not a performer, he's not a composer, he's not even a musician, but Norman Granz is Mr. Jazz.

If you have something to say of any worth then people will listen to you.

First of all, I swore it was two people playing. When I finally admitted to myself that was one man, I gave up the piano for a month. I figured it was hopeless to practice.

I am the worlds laziest writer.
