Don't Settle For Style. Succeed In Substance.

Jazz Music Creates So Many Phenomenal Figures.

The People Are Not Coming Because Of Me. They Didn't Come Before Me. It's Because Of A Lack Of Education And Understanding, So It Makes Me More Motivated. It's Like My Mother Said About Having An Artistic Child - She Learned More From Him And He Gets More Attention And More Of The Love, Not Less.

People Have Taken Time Out Of Their Day And Spent Their Money To Come Sit Down At A Concert. And It's Jazz Music-it's Not Easy For Them To Get To It. I Don't Want Them Ever To Feel That I'm Taking Their Presence Lightly.

Jazz Is Not Just 'well, Man, This Is What I Feel Like Playing.' It's A Very Structured Thing That Comes Down From A Tradition And Requires A Lot Of Thought And Study.
