The Value Of Jazz Still Has To

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be.

My Life Is Music, And In Some Vague, Mysterious And Subconscious Way, I Have Always Been Driven By A Taut Inner Spring Which Has Propelled Me To Almost Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often - In Fact, Mostly - At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

I Had A 10-year Heroin Habit And Kicked That. Then I Became An Alcoholic. I Drank Two Fifth's A Day.

I Never Have Any Trouble Playing Anything I Can Think Of. The Trouble Is In Thinking Of What To Play.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.
