My First Relationship To Any Kind Of

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.

Sometimes I Try To Lose My Identity, And I Can't Get Rid Of It!

Jazz Is An Idea That Is More Powerful Than The Details Of Its History.

I Love Playing And Working On Music. It Is Something That I Feel Really Lucky To Be Able To Spend My Life Doing. And I Don't Sleep Much!

People Sometimes Say It Takes A Long Time To Become A Jazz Fan, But For Me It Took About Five Seconds.
