Bop Is No Love-child Of Jazz.

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.

I Don't Care Who Likes It Or Buys It. Because If You Use That Criterion, Mozart Would Never Have Written Don Giovanni, Charlie Parker Would Have Never Played Anything But Swing Music.

You've Got To Learn Your Instrument.

I'd Been Getting Bored With The Stereotyped Changes (harmonies) That Were Being Used All The Time. I Found That By Using The Higher Intervals Of A Chord As A Melody Line And Backing Them With Appropriately Related Changes I Could Play The Thing I'd Been Hearing. I Came Alive.

If You Don't Live It, It Won't Come Out Your Horn.
