The Way You Change And Help Music

When You Work With Great Musicians, They Are Always A Part Of You . . . Their Spirits Are Walking Around In Me, So They're Still Here And Passing It On To Others.

I Did Bronislaw Kaper's Tune. He Wrote "on Green Dolphin Street." I Mean, I Did All Those Ballads, All Them Ballads From South America. All Those Tunes - The Guitar Concerto On Sketches Of Spain. All Those Are Spanish Melodies. Some Of Them We Made Up Ourselves.

If I Have A Dynamite Bass Player - I Have Darryl Jones - It's So Easy To Write For Him Because He's Such A Funky Kid And He's Gifted. He's Like A Little Genius.
