I Had Heard Blues And Jazz All

The Worst Thing About That Kind Of Prejudice... Is That While You Feel Hurt And Angry And All The Rest Of It, It Feeds You Self-doubt. You Start Thinking, Perhaps I Am Not Good Enough.

I Tell You What Freedom Is To Me: No Fear.

I Feel What They Feel. And People Who Listen To Me Know That, And It Makes Them Feel Like They're Not Alone.

As Far As Piano Players Are Concerned, Oscar Peterson Is My Very Favorite. I Also Like Mccoy Tyner. I Think That The Big Jazz Stars, Both Now And In The Past...how Shall I Say It? These Guys Are As Great As Bach, Beethoven; All Of Them. People Don't Know It Yet. If Jazz Survives And Is Put On A Pedestal As An Art Form, The Same As Classical Music Has Been Through The Years, A Hundred Years From Now The Kids Will Know Who They Were, With That Kind Of Respect.

I Look Forward To Doing My Own Show, Not Someone Else's. That's Always Been My Dream.
