The saxophone is a very interesting machine, but I'm more interested in music.

I think it is in collaboration that the nature of art is revealed.

I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.

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

Before the work comes to you, you have to invent work.

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

You must have the music to justify an instrument's extensive use.
