My Aunt Played The Piano And I

I Don't Claim To Be A Musician, I Didn't Go To Julliard.

My Uncle Gave Me A Trumpet, But I Loved The Louis Armstrong Sound And The Harry James Sound And I Played By Ear And I Played Always Soulful Or Very Direct From The Gut.

Buddy Rich Was One Of The Most Incredible Technicians In The World, On This Planet, But The Only People He Could Really Impress, Who Knew What He Was Doing Was Another Musician Or Another Drummer.

People Just Loved The Sound Because I Kept It Simple.

I Became Stereotyped.
