"Sounds travel through space long after their wave patterns have ceased to be detectable by the human ear: some cut right through the ionosphere and barrel on out into the cosmic heartland, while others bounce around, eventually being absorbed into the vibratory fields of earthly barriers, but in neither case does the energy succumb; it goes on forever - which is why we, each of us, should take pains to make sweet notes."

"We're not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour."
Musicians
"I play as I feel."
Play
"Too many jazz pianists limit themselves to a personal style, a trademark, so to speak. They confine themselves to one type of playing."
Jazz
"I don't do something because I think it will sell 30 million albums. I couldn't care less. If it sells one, it sells one."

"I have no one style."
Style
"You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz."
Jazz
"I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos."
Time

"If you have something to say of any worth then people will listen to you."
