All A Musician Can Do Is To

Working With Monk Brought Me Close To A Musical Architect Of The Highest Order. I Felt I Learned From Him In Every Way--through The Senses, Theoretically, Technically. I Would Talk To Monk About Musical Problems, And He Would Sit At The Piano And Show Me The Answers Just By Playing Them. I Could Watch Him Play And Find Out The Things I Wanted To Know. Also, I Could See A Lot Of Things That I Didn't Know About At All.

Change Is Inevitable In Music - Things Change.

I Would Like To Bring To People Something Like Happiness. I Would Like To Discover A Method So That If I Want It To Rain, It Will Start Right Away To Rain. If One Of My Friends Is Ill, I'd Like To Play A Certain Song And He Will Be Cured; When He'd Be Broke, I'd Bring Out A Different Song And Immediately He'd Receive All The Money He Needed.

Whatever I'd Say Would Be An Understatement. I Can Only Say My Life Was Made Much Better By Knowing Him. He Was One Of The Greatest People I've Ever Known, As A Man, A Friend, And A Musician.

I'm Into Scales Right Now.
