I Have No Idea What I'm Doin'.

As Far As I'm Concerned, The Essentials Of Jazz Are: Melodic Improvisation, Melodic Invention, Swing, And Instrumental Personality.

Everybody Cryin' Mercy / When They Don't Know The Meaning Of The Word.

All The Classic Jazz Players All Sang And A Lot Of 'em Sang Blues.

I Was Taking Chemical Engineering. But I Went Into The Army After That. When I Came Out Of The Army, I Was A Different Person. I Met A Lot Of Good Jazz Players In The Army.

I Went Through The Whole Number, You Know. The Swing Era, The Boogie Woogie Era, The Bebop Era. Thelonious Monk Is Still One Of My Favorites. So A Lot Of These People Had Their Effect On Me.
