I Used To Take My Mother To

When I Was 20, Shostakovich Was My Favorite Composer. I Still Find His Fifth Symphony Wonderful, With Its Outstanding Themes And Rhythms. That's The Piece That Made Me Want To Be A Classical Composer.

I Played A Lot Of Sports And It's The Plays In Basketball That Weren't Worked Out That Are The Ones That Are Just Fantastic That You Remember. We Don't Know The Power That's Within Our Own Bodies.

I Prefer No One To Teach Me. I Prefer To Swing On My Own.

The Reality For Me Is Simple. When Music Is Written, It Is Usually Categorized As Classical. When It Is Improvised, It Can Still Be Called Classical If It Is An Inspired Improvisation. In Either Category, It Is Still Music, And It Can Be Good Or Bad Or Simply Mediocre.

I Knew Even If I'm A Cowboy, I'm Going To Be Involved In Jazz In Some Way.
