Saxophone is one thing, and music is another.
The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.
Nobody was playing the soprano saxophone and certainly nobody was trying to do anything with it. So I was all alone. I didn't know that at first.
I still love the whole history of Jazz. The old things sound better than ever.
I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn't my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down.
If you listen to Louis Armstrong from 1929, you will never hear anything better than that really, and you will never hear anything more free than that.
