Music Happens To Be An Art Form

When A Human Being Is Oppressed, The Natural Tendency Is To Feel Anger. Jazz Is A Response To Oppression That Is Not Bullets And Blood. Jazz Is The Expression Of Harmony ... And At The Same Time Of Hope And Freedom.

I Try To Practice With My Life.

If You're Not Judging What Happens, Then You're Trusting What Others Are Doing, What You're Playing, And Trusting What You're Playing.and It Can Lead You To Other Ideas, To Something Maybe You Hadn't Expressed Before.

I've Been Practising Buddhism For Forty Years, And That's What Has Led Me To This Path Of Discovering My Own Humanity And Recognizing The Humanity In Others.

One Thing I Like About Jazz Is That It Emphasized Doing Things Differently From What Other People Were Doing.
