I still love the whole history of Jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

If you have music you want to play that no one asks you to play, you have to go out and find where you can play it. It's called do or die.

Kenny G, I have to be grateful to him for proving that the instrument can be played all different kinds of ways.

When I found the music of Monk I finally found music that fit that horn. Every one of his tunes fit it perfectly.

I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new it's only for the experts, but when it gets older everybody wants it.

Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
