You can work on the saxophone alone, but ultimately you must perform with others.

When I came up, it was all about originality and collective research. There is an awful lot of imitation going on now.

A jazz musician is a combination orator, dialectician, mathematician, athlete, entertainer, poet, singer, dancer, diplomat, educator, student, comedian, artist, seducer, public masturbator, and general all-round good fellow.

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.

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

A young pianist & composer who has demonstrated an exceptional creativity, in both his playing & his writing, as well as showing us all, his very strong commitment & motivation to aim for high musical goals. Talent like his is rare.

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