You Don't Rehearse Jazz To Death To

I Had A 10-year Heroin Habit And Kicked That. Then I Became An Alcoholic. I Drank Two Fifth's A Day.

I Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

Hearing Myself So Much All The Time, I Don't Think I Sound That Special All The Time Because It's Me.

My Life Is Music, And In Some Vague, Mysterious And Subconscious Way, I Have Always Been Driven By A Taut Inner Spring Which Has Propelled Me To Almost Compulsively Reach For Perfection In Music, Often - In Fact, Mostly - At The Expense Of Everything Else In My Life.

If You Like An Instrument That Sings, Play The Saxophone. At Its Best It's Like The Human Voice.
