Jazz Is People's Music, A Collectivity.

To Me, There Is Spirit In A Reed. It's A Living Thing, A Weed, Really, And It Does Contain Spirit Of A Sort. It's Really An Ancient Vibration.

Risk Is At The Heart Of Jazz. Every Note We Play Is A Risk.

It Starts With A Single Sound. If There's Something In That Sound, Then It's Worth Continuing.

Jazz Is Like Wine. When It Is New It's Only For The Experts, But When It Gets Older Everybody Wants It.

I Heard Sidney Bechet Play A Duke Ellington Piece And Fell In Love With The Soprano Saxophone.
