I don't know where jazz is going. Maybe it's going to hell. You can't make anything go anywhere. It just happens.

The inside of the tune [the bridge] is the part that makes the outside sound good.

I have to listen to New York; I live there. I wasn't born there, but I've been living there all my life.

A note can be as small as a pin or as big as the world, it depends on your imagination.

I don't have a definition of Jazz. You're just supposed to know it when you hear it.

The majority of juice-heads and winos and junkies arent musicians.

I find my inspiration in myself.
