It’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play.
A music is like a dream; one that I cant recall ever having.
Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there.
The thing to judge in any jazz piece is, does it swing?
I think what you’re meant to do is feel the music, let it play you.
Jazz is the only music that makes sense.
You have to live it to know it.
If youre not making a mistake, youre not trying.
I don’t care what you say about me. Just be sure to say something.
You can’t play anything on the horn that you haven’t heard in your head.
The musicians are the ones who are supposed to stir your soul.
You might be surprised by what you can create when you let go.
In music, there are no mistakes, only discoveries.
Each note has its own storylisten closely.
Creativity takes courage, and I’m not afraid to be brave.
Be your own artist, and always be responsible for your own art.
Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
There is no such thing as a wrong note, just a note played at the wrong time.
You have to work on a song until its no longer yours but belongs to the universe.
Real jazz is about finding a conversation with your instrument.
The silence between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves.
Improvisation is the heart of jazz; its where you unleash your truth.
Let the music flow and see where it takes you.
Music isnt just for the ordinary mind; its for the dreamers.
Art is not a competition; it’s an expression beyond the grasp of words.
Listen to the music; it will guide you.
Rhythm is the heartbeat of music; find your pulse and follow it.
Youve got to dig it to find it.
Courage is an artistic expression in itself.
Each performance is a new beginning, a fresh canvas.
Great music is like great love; it speaks the unspeakable.
The beauty of jazz is that it changes with every breath.
You dont play music to impress; you play to express.
Every musician knows that the real show starts when you let go of expectations.
You cant rush creativityit blooms on its own time.
Jazz is emotion, infused with improvisation.
Feel the vibe; let it resonate deep within you.
Music lives in the moment; cherish it.
The best ideas come when you least expect them.

Theres a piece of every performer in every note they play.
