Hearing Myself So Much All The Time,

The Value Of Jazz Still Has To Be Clarified. People Involve Themselves With Its Superficialities Without Digging For Its Soul.

Hearing Myself So Much All The Time, I Don't Think I Sound That Special All The Time Because It's Me.

I Came From An Era When We Didn't Use Electronic Instruments. The Bass Wasn't Even Amplified. The Sound Was The Sound You Got.

My Life Is Music, And In Some Vague, Mysterious And Subconscious Way, I Have Always Been Driven By A Taut Inner Spring Which Has Propelled Me To Almost Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often - In Fact, Mostly - At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

My Dark Sound Could Be Heard Across A Room Clearer Than Somebody With A Reedy Sound. It Had More Projection. My Sound Always Seemed To Fill A Room.
