american-musician band music playing wonderful
I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that.

Art is a subject that is inundated with opinions. In fact, that's all it is about is opinions.
american-musician musical sounds
The sound of the orchestra is one of the most magnificent musical sounds that has ever existed.
wife singers musician
My wife, Gayle, is a wonderful musician and singer. We share music, so it's a deep bond.
character guy musician
As a musician, I don't have one thing that's "my thing." I like to create, and have a lot of outlets for it. Dustin Hoffman is one of the guys that sets a model for me, because of how good he is at being such different characters. Every time you see DeNiro, he's pretty much DeNiro - great, but DeNiro. Hoffman is different every time, depending on his character. That's how I see myself as a performer.
space musician
You've got to create the space, then fill it.

I came along in the '60s having absorbed as much as I could up until then and added my own tastes and search into the equation. I guess that's how I see 'Now He Sings, Now He Sobs' in relation to the development of jazz in general.
age found zero
You get a zero at the end of your age number, and you get some extra attention. That's what I found out.

When I came to New York after high school in 1959 and started to meet musicians, 'Hot House' was like a standard jam session tune.

People in the music business say don't make too many records because they'll compete against one another.

It's made music more accessible with YouTube and the ability to trade audio files. But it hasn't made it more popular.
