As Long As There Are People Trying

I Have Been Able To Get A Small Audience. It's Not The Huge Audience, But It's Enough To Make It Possible To Play. I Appreciate That.

I Understood That If I Wanted To Work, The Saxophone Was The Main Instrument. The Clarinet Was What We Call A Double.

As Long As There Are People Trying To Play Music In A Sincere Way, There Will Be Jazz.

Labels Don't Mean Anything To Me. I'm Trying To Play As Passionately As I'm Able To. If They Want To Call That Cool, That's Fine. Just Spell The Name Right, Is The Formula.

After Playing Now For 60 Years, It's Still Very Challenging For Me To Play A Simple Melody And Have It Clean And Touch The Reed At The Proper Time In The Proper Way.
