Bop Is No Love-child Of Jazz.

When I First Heard Music, I Thought It Should Be Very Clean, Very Precise. Something That People Could Understand, Something That Was Beautiful.

Music Is Your Own Experience, Your Own Thoughts, Your Wisdom. If You Don't Live It, It Won't Come Out Of Your Horn. They Teach You There's A Boundary Line To Music. But, Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art.

Once I Could Play What I Heard Inside Me, That's When I Was Born.

I Kept Thinking There's Bound To Be Something Else? I Could Hear It Sometimes, But I Couldn't Play It.

Some Guys Said 'here's Bop!' Wham! They Said, 'here's Something We Can Make Money On!' Wham! 'here's A Comedian!' Wham! Here's A Guy Who Talks Funny Talk!'
