There's more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that's because the audience doesn't really know what's happening.

The Unity Band project has been life-changing for me. I have led many groups of talented musicians, but this is unlike anything else.

Sometimes I try to lose my identity, and I can't get rid of it!

I was able to work with the best musicians in Kansas City starting when I was really young

And if I ever DO see [Kenny G] anywhere, at any function - he WILL get a piece of my mind, and maybe a guitar wrapped around his head.

From 1962 to 1965, the guitar became this icon of youth culture, thanks mostly to the Beatles

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