The best musicians are not the best players, they're the best listeners.

Jazz is an idea that is more powerful than the details of its history.

More and more as time has gone on, I realize that playing is really more about listening than it is about playing.

If jazz has to be termed as a wave, then music is a sea, but if the reflectors in the water is the chord.

Its more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.

It is Jazz's very nature to change, to develop & adapt to the circumstances of its environment.

I saw A Hard Day's Night 12 or 13 times.
