Jazz Is Like Blues With A Shot

I Was Minding My Own Business When Something Says To Me, "you Ought To Blow Trumpet." I Have Just Been Trying Ever Since.

I Ain't No Entertainer, And Ain't Trying To Be One. I Am One Thing, A Musician.

It's Not The Note You Play That's The Wrong Note - It's The Note You Play Afterwards That Makes It Right Or Wrong.

I Can Tell Whether A Person Can Play Just By The Way He Stands.

Audiences - They Like Colour, You Know. I Can Go Out There Wearing A Red Suit, Man, And They'll Say I'm Out Of Sight ... I Think They Should Be Educated; You Should Always Drop Something On An Audience ... When You Get In Front Of An Audience, You Should Try To Give 'em Something. After All, They're There Looking At You Like This. You Can't Go Out And Give 'em Nothing.
