For Me, Music And Life

You Can Tell Whether A Person Plays Well Or Not By The Way He Carries The Instrument, Whether It Means Something To Him Or Not.

When I Heard Coleman Hawkins, I Learned To Play Ballads

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.

When You Work With Great Musicians, They Are Always A Part Of You . . . Their Spirits Are Walking Around In Me, So They're Still Here And Passing It On To Others.

Music Is The Framework Around The Silence.
