John Lee Hooker Is The Funkiest Man

The Way You Change And Help Music Is By Tryin' To Invent New Ways To Play

Good Music Is Good No Matter What Kind Of Music It Is.

I Would Never Try And Play Like Harry James, Because I Don't Like His Tone - For Me. It's Just White. You Know What I Mean? He Has What We Black Trumpet Players Call A White Sound. But It's For White Music ... I Can Tell A White Trumpet Player, Just Listening To A Record. There'll Be Something He'll Do That'll Let Me Know That He's White.
