I Always Wanted To Be A Spontaneous

Whatever Coast He's On, A Man Should Be Himself. I Don't Write In Any Particular Idiom, I Write Charles Mingus.

I'm Trying To Play The Truth Of What I Am. The Reason It's Difficult Is Because I'm Changing All The Time.

Most Customers, By The Time The Musicians Reach The Second Set, Are To Some Extent Inebriated. They Don't Care What You Play Anyway.

I Admire Anyone Who Can Come Up With Something Original. But Not Originality Alone, Because There Can Be Originality In Stupidity, With No Musical Description Of Any Emotion Or Any Beauty The Man Has Seen, Or Any Kind Of Life He Has Lived.

Let My Children Have Music! Let Them Hear Live Music.
