I learn something new every day.

We recorded to document ourselves, not to sell a lot of records.

I've done some dastardly things but what can I do except make amends and apologize?

I'm a recovered alcoholic. I don't do anything anymore, but those things, those things take away ... You're a different personality completely when you take those. For those who are really chemically dependent on anything, it's not you.

I came from an era when we didn't use electronic instruments. The bass wasn't even amplified. The sound was the sound you got.

I never have any trouble playing anything I can think of. The trouble is in thinking of what to play.

I appreciate men like Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins very much.
