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.

Bernstein Grew Up In My Building In New York. He's A Very, Very Fine Player. When He Was A Kid, He Came By To Find Out What Was Going On In The World Of Jazz.

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.

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.
