About Me


"My whole life, my whole soul, my whole spirit is to blow that horn...” Louis Armstrong
"It's the way you play that makes it." Count Basie
"One of the things I like about jazz, kid, is I don't know what's going to happen next. Do you?" Bix Beiderbecke
"I'll play it first and tell you what it is later." Miles Davis
"Roaming through the jungle of "oohs" and "ahs," searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats." Duke Ellington
"Men have died for this music. You can't get more serious than that." Dizzy Gillespie
"I hate straight singing. I have to change a tune to my own way of doing it. That's all I know." Billie Holiday
"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art." Charlie Parker
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!' " Jack Kerouac
