My Dark Sound Could Be

It’s Like A Language. You Learn The Alphabet, Which Are The Scales. You Learn Sentences, Which Are The Chords. And Then You Talk Extemporaneously With The Horn. It’s A Wonderful Thing To Speak Extemporaneously, Which Is Something I’ve Never Gotten The Hang Of. But Musically I Love To Talk Just Off The Top Of My Head. And That’s What Jazz Music Is All About.

I Played In Rhumba Bands, Mickey Mouse Bands; All Kinds Of Bands.

My Life Is Music, And In Some Vague, Mysterious And Subconscious Way, I Have Always Been Driven By A Taut Inner Spring Which Has Propelled Me To Almost Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often - In Fact, Mostly - At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

The Saxophone Is Actually A Translation Of The Human Voice, In My Conception. All You Can Do Is Play Melody. No Matter How Complicated It Gets, It's Still A Melody.

When I'm Alcohol-free Now And Even To See The World Around Me, I Appreciate It, But I Never Truly Enjoy Too Much Of It Maybe Because I Feel Like I'm A Working Musician. There Are Some Joyous Moments, But I Will Not Think A Joyous Moment.
