I Always Listen To What I Can

I Think The Greatest Sound In The World Is The Human Voice.

Trane Was The Perfect Saxophonist For Monk's Music Because Of The Space That Monk Always Used. Trane Could Fill Up All That Space With All Them Chords And Sounds He Was Playing Then.

Audiences - They Like Colour, You Know. I Can Go Out There Wearing A Red Suit, Man, And They'll Say I'm Out Of Sight ... I Think They Should Be Educated; You Should Always Drop Something On An Audience ... When You Get In Front Of An Audience, You Should Try To Give 'em Something. After All, They're There Looking At You Like This. You Can't Go Out And Give 'em Nothing.

It Takes You Years To Learn How To Play Like Yourself.

I Usually Write From The Rhythm Section...if A Drummer Got A Funky Beat On Some Things - Like A Half-shuffle Or A Shuffle Or A Backbeat That's Even - I Can Write Something.
