Most Of The International Acceptance Of Jazz

I Have More Energy At The End Than I Do At The Beginning. You Can Be So Beat Up That You Can Scarcely Walk On Stage But When You Get To The Piano The Excitement Kicks In, You Forget About Being Tired.

So Often People Will Say That I Converted To The Catholic Religion. This Is False. Although I Was Raised As A Protestant, I Was Never Baptized And Had Never Been A Member Of Any Church. I Joined The Roman Catholic Church After I Had Written My Mass To Hope!during The Night I Dreamt The Entire Lord's Prayer With Chorus And Orchestra. I Jumped Out Of Bed And Wrote Down What I Had Heard As Accurately As I Could Remember. Because Of This Event I Decided That I Might As Well Join The Catholic Church Because Someone Somewhere Was Pulling Me Toward That End.

Every Individual Should Be Expressing Themselves, Whether A Politician Or A Minister Or A Policeman.

I'm Always Hoping For The Nights That Are Inspired Where You Almost Have An Out Of Body Experience

Jazz Is About Freedom Within Discipline. Usually A Dictatorship Like In Russia And Germany Will Prevent Jazz From Being Played Because It Just Seemed To Represent Freedom, Democracy And The United States.
