I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.
