The Value Of Jazz Still Has To

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.

Records Used To Be Documents, But Now Record Companies Want Product.

We Recorded To Document Ourselves, Not To Sell A Lot Of Records.

A Good Quartet Is Like A Good Conversation Among Friends Interacting To Each Other's Ideas.
