I'm Into Scales Right Now.

Working With Monk Brought Me Close To A Musical Architect Of The Highest Order. I Felt I Learned From Him In Every Way--through The Senses, Theoretically, Technically. I Would Talk To Monk About Musical Problems, And He Would Sit At The Piano And Show Me The Answers Just By Playing Them. I Could Watch Him Play And Find Out The Things I Wanted To Know. Also, I Could See A Lot Of Things That I Didn't Know About At All.

The Reason I Play So Many Sounds, Maybe It Sounds Angry, Is Because I'm Trying So Many Things At One Time, You See? I Haven't Sorted Them Out. I Have A Whole Bag Of Things That I'm Trying To Work Through And Get The One Essential.

Sometimes I Wish I Could Walk Up To My Music For The First Time, As If I Had Never Heard It Before.

Whatever I'd Say Would Be An Understatement. I Can Only Say My Life Was Made Much Better By Knowing Him. He Was One Of The Greatest People I've Ever Known, As A Man, A Friend, And A Musician.

I Think I Know What It Is But Don't Ask Me To Play It
