A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

Certainly, as expected, there were no real surprises here.

I was an admirer of Art Pepper even before I went to California, when he was still in Kenton's band. His playing is joyous, great.

Sometimes insiders get it right, and sometimes they don't,

While in prison, we had an excellent pianist named Jimmy Bunn, who also recorded with Bird. Jimmy would play a small accordion, and he, Art and I would play all day, nothing but ballads.

I'm eternally grateful to the penal system in California for saving my life.
