Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art!

Any Musician Who Says He Is Playing Better Either On Tea, The Needle, Or When He Is Juiced, Is A Plain, Straight Liar. When I Get Too Much To Drink, I Can't Even Finger Well, Let Alone Play Decent Ideas. You Can Miss The Most Important Years Of Your Life, The Years Of Possible Creation.

Bop Is No Love-child Of Jazz.

I'd Been Getting Bored With The Stereotyped Changes (harmonies) That Were Being Used All The Time. I Found That By Using The Higher Intervals Of A Chord As A Melody Line And Backing Them With Appropriately Related Changes I Could Play The Thing I'd Been Hearing. I Came Alive.

Once I Could Play What I Heard Inside Me, That's When I Was Born.

Music Is Your Own Experience, Your Own Thoughts, Your Wisdom. If You Don't Live It, It Won't Come Out Of Your Horn. They Teach You There's A Boundary Line To Music. But, Man, There's No Boundary Line To Art.
