"I think the solo playing, the decision to start playing solo, came out of having discovered what lay behind the doors that that technique opened for me."
Decision
"I think the voice does that perfectly adequately without being imitated by other instruments."
Being
"Actually John, Paul Rutherford, and Trevor Watts, and several other rather well known English jazz musicians had got their training by joining the Air Force, which was a pretty standard way for people to get some kind of musical education in those days."
Education

Order

Philosophy
"So I'm looking to the saxophone as a resource which has its own unique set of possibilities. I'm looking to exploit them and develop them and have the fullest range of possibilities of the saxophone be known."
Possibility

History
"Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language."
Music
