Jazz Is About The Only Form Of

My Dad Was The Manager At The 45,000-acre Ranch, But He Owned His Own 1,200-acre Ranch, And I Owned Four Cattle That He Gave To Me When I Graduated From Grammar School, From The Eighth Grade. And Those Cows Multiplied, And He Kept Track Of Them For Years For Me. And That Was My Herd.

I Wasn't Allowed To Play In Some Universities In The United States And Out Of Twenty-five Concerts, Twenty-three Were Canceled Unless I Would Substitute My Black Bass Player For My Old White Bass Player, Which I Wouldn't Do.

I Have More Energy At The End Than I Do At The Beginning. You Can Be So Beat Up That You Can Scarcely Walk On Stage But When You Get To The Piano The Excitement Kicks In, You Forget About Being Tired.

You Have To Be Taught To Hate.

What I Want To Happen Is To Be Really Creative, And To Play Something New In The Improvisations, Every Time.
