To Most White People, Jazz Means Black

If I Want To Take A Particular Form Of Blues Somewhere Else I Have The Equipment To Do It But I Never Even Thought Of It.

I Try To Swim Every Damn Day I Can, And I've Learned To Scuba Dive And Snorkel.

I'm A Nut For Bach As A Composer.

Everything That Happened To Me As A Child Involved Music. It Was Part Of Everyday Life, As Automatic As Breathing.

As I Got Older Though I Wanted A Life Of My Own. The Classical Training Was Very Demanding And Thorough. It Was A Very Sheltered Existence. Even Though I Heard Blues And Gospel On The Radio Sometimes, It Was Always Back To The Piano And Study And Give Recitals.
