I Finally Decided If I Was Going

The Idea Was I'd Never Amount To Anything In Music, The Theme There Was That I Was Talented, But I Wouldn't Work Hard Enough To Do Anything With It.

Ever Since The World Ended, I Don't Go Out As Much

I Didn't Feel Anything [frustraiting]. I Just Kept Working 110 Or 120 Nights A Year.

As Far As I'm Concerned, The Essentials Of Jazz Are: Melodic Improvisation, Melodic Invention, Swing, And Instrumental Personality.

I Don't Remember Any Impression [from Blues].the Blues Was Just Everywhere In The Mississippi Delta. It Was Mostly Black Sharecroppers Living There, And There Was A Lot Of Blues Around. Sometimes The Guys Would Sing The Blues In The Fields, Working.
