“The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.”

But I promised myself if I ever get to a point where I can help somebody that’s trying to learn how to do this, that I would try to do that.

Theres so much beautiful music in the world, and the kids are getting robbed.

But anything that you hear about Japan is nothing like what you see when you actually go over there and see it, you know, in a real situation.
