The French - they like jazz, they've been on jazz a long time.

There's so much beautiful music in the world, and the kids are getting robbed.

Jazz needs the help. It’s the more sophisticated music. All the other music is on the TV, but jazz isn’t.

The French – they like jazz, theyve been on jazz a long time.

It’s something that – jazz is one of the few things that you can go and listen to, I don’t care where you’re from, what you are, what background you come from – there’s something there for you.

If I couldn’t do it, then I’d be defeated. I’ve got the tools to do it. I never did question my tools.

If somebody would come and they’re not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.

Because the stuff that they feed kids now, they’ll have a bunch of idiots in the next millennium as far as art and culture is concerned.

The Japanese actually approach the music on a high level. It’s always been on a high level.

If everybody gets in there and sees that and understands that, then it lets them know that they're all human beings and creatures of God.
