The Value Of Music Is Not Dazzling

I Spent Five Years, At Least, Working With Miles. Together, We Recorded Esp, Nefertiti, Sorcerer -- And I Can Tell You; Each Of These Albums Instantly Became Jazz Classics. Hey, We Had Wayne Shorter Playing Tenor Sax, Ron [carter] On Bass, Tony Williams Played Drums. That Was Great Band We Had.

I'm Very Conscious Of The Idea Of Trying To Each Time Present Something That I Haven't Presented Before. It's A Challenge To Me To Find Something New, To Find Something Innovative, But It's Also Very Exciting.

Jazz Is Really About The Human Experience. It’s About The Ability Of Human Beings To Take The Worst Of Circumstances And Struggles And Turn It Into Something Creative And Constructive. That’s Something That’s Built Into The Fiber Of Every Human Being. And I Think That’s Why People Can Respond To It. They Feel The Freedom In It. And The Attributes Of Jazz Are Also Admirable. It’s About Dialogue. It’s About Sharing. And Teamwork. It’s In The Moment, And It's Nonjudgmental.

I Never Dreamed I Would Be A Goodwill Ambassador, And For Unesco. Perfect Organization. It Is Apolitical And It's About Education, Science And Culture. I Mean That Is What I Live. That Is What Unesco Is Really About; It's All About Bringing Human Beings Together With One Common Goal, Which Is To Move Human Kind Forward.

If You're Not Judging What Happens, Then You're Trusting What Others Are Doing, What You're Playing, And Trusting What You're Playing.and It Can Lead You To Other Ideas, To Something Maybe You Hadn't Expressed Before.
