I Cannot Play A Lie. I Have To Believe In What I Play Or It Won't Come Out.

I Had A 10-year Heroin Habit And Kicked That. Then I Became An Alcoholic. I Drank Two Fifth's A Day.

It’s Like A Language. You Learn The Alphabet, Which Are The Scales. You Learn Sentences, Which Are The Chords. And Then You Talk Extemporaneously With The Horn. It’s A Wonderful Thing To Speak Extemporaneously, Which Is Something I’ve Never Gotten The Hang Of. But Musically I Love To Talk Just Off The Top Of My Head. And That’s What Jazz Music Is All About.

I Learn Something New Every Day - To Edit, To Take Out All The Extraneous Matter And Stress Form, Logic, And Content. I Try To Play Beautiful Music.
