Jazz Is A Good Barometer Of Freedom.

It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing.

There Are Simply Two Kinds Of Music, Good Music And The Other Kind ... The Only Yardstick By Which The Result Should Be Judged Is Simply That Of How It Sounds. If It Sounds Good It's Successful; If It Doesn't It Has Failed.

Everyone Prays In Their Own Language, And There Is No Language That God Does Not Understand.

There Are Two Kinds Of Worries - Those You Can Do Something About And Those You Can't. Don't Spend Any Time On The Latter.

Music, Of Course, Is What I Hear And Something That I More Or Less Live By. It's Not An Occupation Or Profession, It's A Compulsion.
