Jazz Is About The Only Form Of

I Wanted To Be Like My Father, Who Was A Cattle Man And A Rodeo Roper. And That Was - He Was My Hero, And I Wanted To Be More Like Him.

I Got A Poster From Columbia Records, And There's Miles Davis, Charlie Mingus, Ellington, Count Basie - Everybody In That Poster Has Died, I'm The Only One Left. And Great Players Like Paul Desmond And Gerry Mulligan, It's Hard To Believe They're Gone Because We Were All So Close. But I Believe In The Future And The Tradition Will Go On.

I Prefer No One To Teach Me. I Prefer To Swing On My Own.

I Had The First Integrated Army Band In World War Ii.

What I Want To Happen Is To Be Really Creative, And To Play Something New In The Improvisations, Every Time.
