You Can't Play Anything On A Horn

That Was My Gift . . . Having The Ability To Put Certain Guys Together That Would Create A Chemistry And Then Letting Them Go; Letting Them Play What They Knew, And Above It.

I Never Thought That The Music Called "jazz" Was Ever Meant To Reach Just A Small Group Of People, Or Become A Museum Thing Locked Under Glass Like All The Other Dead Things That Were Once Considered Artistic.

When I Went In There, We Used Drum Machine On "time After Time" And "human Nature".we Don't Use The Drum Machine To Play A Pattern. You Play The Pattern By Being Consistent.

When We Edit The Music, I Always Remember, "it's My Band. Save Me A Place To Play."

[jazz Musicians] Feel Comfortable With Their Clichés, You Know.
