#Quote
1If it wasn't for Neal Hefti, the Count Basie band wouldn't sound as good as it does. But Neal's band can't play those same arrangements nearly as well.
2I'll play it and tell you what is later.
3[on Louis Armstrong] You can't play anything on a horn that Louis hasn't played.
4[on Eric Dolphy] He plays like somebody is standing on his foot.
5A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it.
6For me, music and life are all about style.
7I know what I've done for music, but don't call me "a legend".
