The Thing To Judge In Any Jazz

I've Come Close To Matching The Feeling Of That Night In 1944 In Music, When I First Heard Diz And Bird, But I've Never Got There. . . . I'm Always Looking For It, Listening And Feeling For It, Though, Trying To Always Feel It In And Through The Music I Play Everyday.

That's The Way Women Do. The Frown. They Want To Give You The Attitude To Approach Them Back, By Giving You A Negative Vibe.

I Put All Those Synthesizer Sounds Behind "decoy" And "code M.d." A Lot Of Things We Write Together. A Lot Of Things Are His, But They Don't Have That Thing I Want On The Bottom. I Often Tell Him, I Say, "bobby [irving], If There's A Melody, There's Another One Somewhere That Goes With It."

The Music Has Gotten Thick. Guys Give Me Tunes And They're Full Of Chords. I Can't Play Them...i Think A Movement In Jazz Is Beginning Away From The Conventional String Of Chords, And A Return To Emphasis On Melodic Rather Than Harmonic Variation. There Will Be Fewer Chords But Infinite Possibilities As To What To Do With Them.

When I Heard Coleman Hawkins, I Learned To Play Ballads
