For me, music and life are all about style.
There are no wrong notes in jazz: only notes in the wrong places.
Don't worry about playing a lot of notes. Just find one pretty one.
Jazz is like blues with a shot of heroin!
Coltrane, you cant play everything at once!
I still got my Ferrari.
Monk taught me more about music composition than anyone else on 52nd Street.
Jazz is an Uncle Tom word. They should stop using that word for selling. I told George Wein the other day that he should stop using it.
He sounded to me like he's supposed to be the savior of jazz. Sometimes people speak as though someone asked them a question. Well, no one asked him a question.
Music is an addiction.
