Jazz Is Not Just Music, It's A

How Can You Be An Artist And Not Reflect The Times?

Birds Flying High You Know How I Feel Sun In The Sky You Know How I Feel Breeze Driftin' On By You Know How I Feel And This Old World Is A New World And A Bold World For Me And I'm Feeling Good I'm Feeling Good

I Demand Perfection In What I Do, And I Practice Very Hard Before I Give A Concert-sometimes Three To Six Hours A Day.

I Applied For A Scholarship To Curtis Institute Of Music In Philadelphia. I Knew I Was Good Enough, But They Turned Me Down. And It Took Me About Six Months To Realize It Was Because I Was Black. I Never Really Got Over That Jolt Of Racism At The Time.

Many Times I Feel Different Like A Different Person.
