Keith, How Does It Feel To Be

My Father's Rich, My Momma's Good Looking. Right? And I Can Play The Blues. I've Never Suffered And Don't Intend To Suffer.

Everybody Ought To Listen To Benny [carter]. He's A Whole Musical Education.

The Melody Is French. But That's The End Of The Record. I Named It "jean Pierre Then There Were None," You Know, Because Of The Big Explosion. You'll Like It. It's A Nice Album.

We Don't Play To Be Seen. I'm Addicted To Music, Not Audiences.

I Don't Hold It Against Dizzy [gillespie], You Know, But If A Guy Wants To Play A Certain Way, You Work Towards That. If He Stops - He's Full Of Crap, You Know. I Mean, I Wouldn't Do It, For No Money, Or For No Place In The White Man's World. Not Just To Make Money, Because Then You Don't Have Anything. You Don't Have As Much Money As Whoever You're Trying To Ape; That's Making Money By Being Commercial. Then You Don't Have Anything To Give The World; So You're Not Important. You Might As Well Be Dead.
