I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of

I Practiced Saxophone Eight Hours A Day For The First Two Years I Played.

If You Like An Instrument That Sings, Play The Saxophone. At Its Best It's Like The Human Voice.

I Never Consciously Tried To Conceive Of What My Sound Should Be...i Never Tried To Imitate Anybody, But When You Love Somebody's Music, You're Influenced...i Really Don't Know How I Developed My Sound, But It Comes From A Combination Of My Musical Conception And No Doubt The Basic Shape Of The Oral Cavity.

I Came From An Era When We Didn't Use Electronic Instruments. The Bass Wasn't Even Amplified. The Sound Was The Sound You Got.

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