The Spirit Of Jazz Is The Spirit

I Keep Recycling And Repackaging Music That I've Done In The Past, As Though I Can't Write Anymore. Like, Okay, I'm Done With That. But I Need To Kind Of Prod Myself Again Into Come On, Herbie, Get Off Your Duff And Start Writing Some New Music.

But, The Truth Is That Everyone Is Somebody Already.

You Can Practice To Attain Knowledge, But You Can't Practice To Attain Wisdom.

Of Course, It's Not The Technique That Makes The Music; It's The Sensitivity Of The Musician And His Ability To Be Able To Fuse His Life With The Rhythm Of The Times. This Is The Essence Of Music.

When You Struggle To Reach For Something You Don't Know, That's Where Most Of The Interesting Stuff Is.
