Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.


Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die.


Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.


For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.


The wise musicians are those who play what they can master.


Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.


Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.


If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you'll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you'll get to where you want to be.
