Never play anything the same way twice.

When I go to the Gate, I'll play a duet with Gabriel. Yeah, we'll play 'Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Hello, Dolly!.' Then he can blow a couple that he's been playing up there all the time.

If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.

I don't need words. It's all in the phrasing.

You blows who you is.

Jazz is played from the heart. You can even live by it. Always love it.

My whole life, my whole soul, my whole spirit is to blow that horn.

What we play is life.
