I Know I'm Different, But I Don't

I Know I'm Different, But I Don't Think About It.

You Can't Be Different If You Look At It. Being Gifted Is Different. I Had That In My Piano Playing. I'm Very Thankful For That. I'm Very Aware Of That. The Style And What I Fed Is Just Me. I Never Worked At It. It Just Happened.

As Far As Piano Players Are Concerned, Oscar Peterson Is My Very Favorite. I Also Like Mccoy Tyner. I Think That The Big Jazz Stars, Both Now And In The Past...how Shall I Say It? These Guys Are As Great As Bach, Beethoven; All Of Them. People Don't Know It Yet. If Jazz Survives And Is Put On A Pedestal As An Art Form, The Same As Classical Music Has Been Through The Years, A Hundred Years From Now The Kids Will Know Who They Were, With That Kind Of Respect.

I Don't Like Rap Music At All. I Don't Think It's Music. It's Just A Beat And Rapping.
