Jazz is people's music, a collectivity.
Make the drummer sound good.
In composition you have all the time you want to decide what to say in 15 seconds, in improvisation you have 15 seconds.
Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.
The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.
I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn't my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down.
