I Never Heard My Music Played The

My Son's A Painter. All Through School His Teachers Tell Him He's A Genius. I Tell Him To Paint Me An Apple That Looks Like An Apple Before He Paints Me One That Doesn't. Go Where You Can Go, But Start From Someplace Recognizable.

Everything I Do Is Mingus.

Anybody Can Make The Simple Complecated. Creativity Is Making The Complecated Simple.

I Admire Anyone Who Can Come Up With Something Original. But Not Originality Alone, Because There Can Be Originality In Stupidity, With No Musical Description Of Any Emotion Or Any Beauty The Man Has Seen, Or Any Kind Of Life He Has Lived.

Jazz Music Is A Language Of The Emotions.
