Everything I Do Is Mingus.

It (jazz) Isn't Like It Used To Be. The Guys Aren't Together. They're All Separated. Individuals Now. Bird Was A Symbol. It Was A Clique, A Clique Of People. Who All Believed In One Thing: Gettin' High. And Playin'.

I Was Born Swinging And Clapped My Hands In Church As A Little Boy, But I've Grown Up And I Like To Do Things Other Than Just Swing. But Blues Can Do More Than Just Swing.

Everything I Do Is Mingus.
