A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it. - Miles Davis

you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.

The music has gotten thick. Guys give me tunes and they're full of chords. I can't play them...I think a movement in jazz is beginning away from the conventional string of chords, and a return to emphasis on melodic rather than harmonic variation. There will be fewer chords but infinite possibilities as to what to do with them.

I'm a fiend when it comes to good pastry, and the French make the best as far as I'm concerned.
