The Reason Why The Music [jazz] Is

I Didn't Want To Get That Ring Around My Lips From Practicing The Trumpet, Because I Thought The Girls Wouldn't Like Me. So I Never Practiced.

I Have Friends Who Will Critique Me Much Harder Than Any Review.

Jazz Music Is The Power Of Now.

As You Get Older - For Example, In Our Band We Have Members Of Our Orchestra, Like Carlos Enriquez And Ali Jackson And Walter Blanning. I Taught Them When They Were In High School, And Now They Teach Me.i'll Regularly Call Ali And Say, "man, Can You Break This Rhythm Down For Me?" Or Carlos Was Actually Our Music Director In Cuba, And He's Been Instrumental In A Lot Of My Education, And I Started To Develop A Saying With Them, Because They Tease Me All The Time - You Get Older, You Have That Familiar Relationship - I Say, "you Have To Follow Your Young Leadership, Too."

The People Are Not Coming Because Of Me. They Didn't Come Before Me. It's Because Of A Lack Of Education And Understanding, So It Makes Me More Motivated. It's Like My Mother Said About Having An Artistic Child - She Learned More From Him And He Gets More Attention And More Of The Love, Not Less.
