Don't Play What's There, Play What's Not

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.

It's Not The Notes You Play, It's The Notes You Don't Play.

Jazz Is Like Blues With A Shot Of Heroin!

Anybody Can Play. The Note Is Only 20 Percent. The Attitude Of The Motherfucker Who Plays It Is 80 Percent.

Sometimes You Have To Play A Long Time To Be Able To Play Like Yourself.
