Don't Play The Saxophone. Let It Play

It's Just Music. It's Playing Clean And Looking For The Pretty Notes.

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

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.

Any Musician Who Says He Is Playing Better Either On Tea, The Needle, Or When He Is Juiced, Is A Plain, Straight Liar. When I Get Too Much To Drink, I Can't Even Finger Well, Let Alone Play Decent Ideas. You Can Miss The Most Important Years Of Your Life, The Years Of Possible Creation.
