A Good Quartet Is Like A Good

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.

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.

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

I've Always Regretted The Fact That I've Never Formally Studied And Learned The Mechanics Of Writing Music.

A Good Quartet Is Like A Good Conversation Among Friends Interacting To Each Other's Ideas.
