When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now.
I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz.
You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.
I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.
Whoever has an original thing to say, it is sort of a threat to the status quo.
Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
