My Music Is Evidence Of My Souls

Making The Simple Complicated Is Commonplace; Making The Complicated Simple, Awesomely Simple, That's Creativity.

In High School I Was On The Basketball Team, But The Coach Did Something I Didn't Dig And The Next Day He Looked Up And Saw Me Practising With The Football Team.

Our Nights Didn't Begin Until After Noon. Because In The Old Days, You'd Start Birdland At 8:30 Or 9 Pm And Play Until 4 In The Morning. Then You'd Go Out To The Corner And Talk To A Couple Of Musicians - I Used To Talk To Oscar Pettiford A Whole Lot - You'd Stand There Till 7, 8 Or 9, Or Else Go Down To The Jam Session At Minton's.

My Music Is Evidence Of My Souls Will To Live.

I Never Heard My Music Played The Way I Heard It In My Head.
