You Can't Play Anything On A Horn

I Did Bronislaw Kaper's Tune. He Wrote "on Green Dolphin Street." I Mean, I Did All Those Ballads, All Them Ballads From South America. All Those Tunes - The Guitar Concerto On Sketches Of Spain. All Those Are Spanish Melodies. Some Of Them We Made Up Ourselves.

[jazz Musicians] Feel Comfortable With Their Clichés, You Know.

We Don't Play To Be Seen. I'm Addicted To Music, Not Audiences.

A Lot Of People Ask Me Where Music Is Going Today. I Think It's Going In Short Phrases. If You Listen, Anybody With An Ear Can Hear That. Music Is Always Changing. It Changes Because Of The Times And The Technology That's Available, The Material That Things Are Made Of, Like Plastic Cars Instead Of Steel. So When You Hear An Accident Today It Sounds Different, Not All The Metal Colliding Like It Was In The Forties And Fifties. Musicians Pick Up Sounds And Incorporate That Into Their Playing, So The Music That They Make Will Be Different.
