Quotes

  • We`re not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour.
    (brainyquote.com)

    (brainyquote.com)
  • I am the worlds laziest writer.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they`re trying to say with jazz. You don`t need any prologues, you just play.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • I have no one style.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • It`s the group sound that`s important, even when you`re playing a solo.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That`s jazz.
