I Don't Care Who Likes It Or

I Don't Care Who Likes It Or Buys It. Because If You Use That Criterion, Mozart Would Never Have Written Don Giovanni, Charlie Parker Would Have Never Played Anything But Swing Music.

I'd Been Getting Bored With The Stereotyped Changes (harmonies) That Were Being Used All The Time. I Found That By Using The Higher Intervals Of A Chord As A Melody Line And Backing Them With Appropriately Related Changes I Could Play The Thing I'd Been Hearing. I Came Alive.

When I First Heard Music, I Thought It Should Be Very Clean, Very Precise. Something That People Could Understand, Something That Was Beautiful.

It's Just Music. It's Playing Clean And Looking For The Pretty Notes.

Master Your Instrument. Master The Music. And Then Forget All That Bullshit And Just Play.
