My Music Is Evidence Of My Souls

I, Myself, Came To Enjoy The Players Who Didn't Only Just Swing But Who Invented New Rhythmic Patterns, Along With New Melodic Concepts. And Those People Are: Art Tatum, Bud Powell, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Lester Young, Dizzy Gillespie And Charles Parker, Who Is The Greatest Genius Of All To Me Because He Changed The Whole Era Around.

I Was Always Doing Revolutionary Things, Things That Would Alert People, So They Would Stop Being So Subservient.

Making The Simple Complicated Is Commonplace.

I Always Wanted To Be A Spontaneous Composer.

Let My Children Have Music! Let Them Hear Live Music.
