You Have To Be Born 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.

Look, Man, All I Am Is A Trumpet Player.

In Music, Silence Is More Important Than Sound.

I'm Out There Doing The Best That I Can, My Lip Is Cut And I'm Still Playing.

In High School I Was Best In Music Class On The Trumpet, But The Prizes Went To The Boys With Blue Eyes. I Made Up My Mind To Outdo Anybody White On My Horn.
