The Value Of Jazz Still

I Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

I Appreciate Men Like Ben Webster And Coleman Hawkins Very Much.

I Had A 10-year Heroin Habit And Kicked That. Then I Became An Alcoholic. I Drank Two Fifth's A Day.

The Saxophone Is An Imperfect Instrument, Especially The Tenor And Soprano, As Far As Intonation Goes. The Challenge Is To Sing On An Imperfect Instrument That Is Outside Of Your Body.

Other Than Conversation, No Other Art Form Can Give The Satisfaction Of Spontaneous Interaction Like Jazz.
