You Can't Steal A Gift. Bird [charlie

Thank You, Ladies And Gentlemen, For Your Magnificent Indifference.

Many Critics Always Saw And Heard That My Style Comes From Roy Eldridge, Which Is True. But For Many Things, Not Only How To Play The Trumpet But The Way To Choose The Notes, How To Play Them And How To Phrase All Of Them, I Took That From Sweets [edison]. He Really Brought Something New To The Trumpet.

I Try To Play The Bare Essence, To Let Everything Be Just What It's Supposed To Be In That Particular Spot...you Have Many Things To Pick From When You're Playing, So You Try To Train Yourself To Pick Out The Best Things That You Know.

I Don't Care Much About Music. What I Like Is Sounds.

Mutual Respect Is So Important Because As Soon As It Disappears In Relations Between You And The Next Person, There's Trouble.
