Jazz Is The Language Of The Emotions.

Let My Children Have Music! Let Them Hear Live Music.

I've Got A Feeling That If It's So Easy For You - The Struggle And The Initiative Are Not As Strong As They Are For A Person Who Has To Struggle And Therefore Has More To Say.

In My Music, I'm Trying To Play The Truth Of What I Am.

My Son's A Painter. All Through School His Teachers Tell Him He's A Genius. I Tell Him To Paint Me An Apple That Looks Like An Apple Before He Paints Me One That Doesn't. Go Where You Can Go, But Start From Someplace Recognizable.

Whatever Coast He's On, A Man Should Be Himself. I Don't Write In Any Particular Idiom, I Write Charles Mingus.
