| About me: | 
“You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that **** and just wail.”
"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's ain't no boundary line to art."
- The Great Charlie Parker / Bird
“Over all, I think the main thing a musician would like to do is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe. . . That’s what I would like to do. I think that’s one of the greatest things you can do in life and we all try to do it in some way. The musician’s is through his music.”
- John Coltrane
“If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.”
- Louis Armstrong
I love jazz, all kinds: from Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to Miles Davis (even Dizzy, Coltrane, Ornette, Mingus, Duke, Sonny) I play trumpet. I can't wait until South Africa '10! I'm a debater. Einstein is amazing
