I'll know when I find the ultimate sound.

Music represents nature. Nature represents life. Jazz represents nature. Jazz is life.

There have been many great musicians that, Clifford Brown is one great example, I mean he died very early, 25.

I'm now a legend, whether I want to be or not.

I have always been a person who is concerned with the dignity of jazz music and the way jazz musicians have been treated and are treated, and the fact that the music has not been given the kind of due that it deserves.

It's all about creation and surprise. It just needs to be appreciated and watered like flowers. You have to water flowers. These peaks will come again.

But if I didn't have to make money, I would still play my horn.
