1961 • American • Musician
You need a team. You need people to push you. You need opponents.
What I really have in my head, my imagination, my understanding of music, I never really get that out.
I sounded like myself. People be saying I sound like Miles or Clifford Brown.
The musicians I respected were much older than me. I expected them to cut my head, and they did.
The bandstand is a sacred place.
Thank the good Lord for a job.
