When We Edit The Music, I Always

Somebody, My Daughter Or My Wife, Gave Me A Music Box For Christmas. It Plays "my Funny Valentine" On Celeste, You Know? So I Had Bobby [irving] Just Play "jean Pierre" With The Changes On Celeste.

Music Is The Framework Around The Silence.

In Music, Silence Is More Important Than Sound.

It's Not The Notes You Play, It's The Notes You Don't Play.

I Usually Write From The Rhythm Section...if A Drummer Got A Funky Beat On Some Things - Like A Half-shuffle Or A Shuffle Or A Backbeat That's Even - I Can Write Something.
