No Matter What They Take From Me,

Of Course We've Lost So Many Superstars Who've Made Jazz What It Is. We've Lost So Many Musicians Who Created New Things And Changed The Way We Think About Music And Who Took Jazz To A New Level. So Jazz Is Suffering From That. But We Still Have A Lot Of Incredible People Playing Jazz In The World. We Have A Lot Of People Leading The Way.

Guitar Gigs Were Everywhere In The '50s, And I Started Diddling Around So I Could Keep Working. Playing Honky-tonk, Simple Stuff. I Took A Few Gigs With An Organ Band That Put Me Out Front.

The Melody Is The Most Important Thing That Must Stay In The Minds Of The People Who Listen To You. No Matter How Many Notes You Play, You Can't Let Them Forget What The Song Is.
