The First Choral Music I Remember Hearing

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

When I Was First Aware That I Couldn't Read Music I Didn't Know I Couldn't Read Because I Could Play The Music That Was In Front Of Me.

When Things Are Going Well, I Hate To Quit.

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.

Many People Don't Understand How Disciplined You Have To Be To Play Jazz... And That Is Really The Idea Of Democracy - Freedom Within The Constitution Or Discipline. You Don't Just Get Out There And Do Anything You Want.
