You've Got To Learn Your Instrument.

Once I Could Play What I Heard Inside Me, That's When I Was Born.

Music Is Your Own Experience, Your Own Thoughts, Your Wisdom. If You Don't Live It, It Won't Come Out Of Your Horn. They Teach You There's A Boundary Line To Music. But, Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art.

When I First Heard Music, I Thought It Should Be Very Clean, Very Precise. Something That People Could Understand, Something That Was Beautiful.

You've Got To Learn Your Instrument. Then, You Practice, Practice, Practice. And Then, When You Finally Get Up There On The Bandstand, Forget All That And Just Wail.

Don't Be Afraid, Just Play The Music.
