The Saxophone Is Actually A Translation Of

When I Got This Saxophone, It Became A Religion. There Wasn't Tv, There Wasn't Much Money, And There Was Just A Real Dedication.... I Never Thought Of It As An Art. It Was Just Work That I Loved. Not Just Work, But Work That I Loved. I Loved It So Much, I Would Play It If Nobody Listened To It. Any Jazz Musician, If There's Nobody Around To Listen, Would Play Just For The Sheer Joy Of Improvising Music.

Records Used To Be Documents, But Now Record Companies Want Product.

You Know, When I'm Playing, I Think Of Myself In Front Of The Wailing Wall With A Saxophone In My Hands, And I'm Davening, I'm Really Telling It To The Wall.

I've Done Some Dastardly Things But What Can I Do Except Make Amends And Apologize?

I Never Have Any Trouble Playing Anything I Can Think Of. The Trouble Is In Thinking Of What To Play.
