The Thing To Judge In Any Jazz

There Are No Wrong Notes In Jazz: Only Notes In The Wrong Places.

Music Is A Funny Thing When You Really Come To Think About It.

If You Love Them In The Morning With Their Eyes Full Of Crust; If You Love Them At Night With Their Hair Full Of Rollers, Chances Are, You're In Love.

See, If You Put A Musician In A Place Where He Has To Do Something Different From What He Does All The Time, Then He Can Do That - But He's Got To Think Differently In Order To Do It. He's Got To Play Above What He Knows - Far Above It. I've Always Told The Musicians In My Band To Play What They Know And Then Play Above That. Because Then Anything Can Happen, And That's Where Great Art And Music Happens.

Do Not Fear Mistakes. There Are None.
