It's Not The Notes You Play, It's

I Mean, It Makes Me Sick When I See A White Man Sitting There Smiling At Me Being Entertaining, Man. When I Know What He's Gonna Do After He Gets Through. You Know, When You See That Thing On Their Face - Like: "entertain Me." You Know What I Mean? Even The Black Guy That's Trying To Be White - Even He Can Have That Crap On His Face.

You Can Tell Whether A Person Plays Well Or Not By The Way He Carries The Instrument, Whether It Means Something To Him Or Not.

If You Had To Call It "unison", It Ain't Unison. It Ain't The Same As Somebody Else. If You Can Hear That It's Unison, And You Have To Name It Something Other Than "unison", It Ain't Unison, You Know What I Mean? It's Two Guys Playin', But One Guy Is Playin' Slightly Out Of Tune, One Is Playin' Slightly Off Meter.

...people Will Go For Anything They Don't Understand If It's Got Enough Hype. They Want To Be Hip, Want Always To Be In On The New Thing So They Don't Look Unhip. White People Are Especially Like That, Particularly When A Black Person Is Doing Something They Don't Understand...that's What I Thought Was Happening When Ornette Hit Town.

Don't Worry About Playing A Lot Of Notes. Just Find One Pretty One.
