It's A Good Time For Black People

To Most White People, Jazz Means Black And Jazz Means Dirt, And That's Not What I Play. I Play Black Classical Music.

The Beatles Are Lucky, Very Lucky. But What Has Happened To Them Has Nothing To Do With Them, In A Sense. They Came Along At The Right Time. Attention Was Focused On Them. They've Had The Chance To Grow In Almost Any Direction They Wanted. Very Lucky. They Are Not Exceptionally Talented.

I Don't Like To Go To Strange Places.

Everything That Happened To Me As A Child Involved Music. It Was Part Of Everyday Life, As Automatic As Breathing.

Through Music You Can Become Sad, Joyful, Loving, You Can Learn. You Can Learn Mathematics, Touch, Pacing... Oh My God! Ooh... Wow... You Can See Colors Through Music. Anything!
