I Knew Even If I'm A Cowboy,

What I Want To Happen Is To Be Really Creative, And To Play Something New In The Improvisations, Every Time.

Don't Be A Perfectionist... Leave That To The Classical Musicians.

It's Like A Whole Orchestra, The Piano For Me. And Also It's To Me The Greatest Instrument. I Shouldn't Say That, But I Believe That This Is The Only Instrument I Can Really Feel Happy About Playing.

I Got A Poster From Columbia Records, And There's Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Ellington, Count Basie - Everybody In That Poster Has Died, I'm The Only One Left. And Great Players Like Paul Desmond And Gerry Mulligan, It's Hard To Believe They're Gone Because We Were All So Close. But I Believe In The Future And The Tradition Will Go On.

The Secret Of A Great Melody Is A Secret.
