I don't know who's 18 years old today that, 20 years hence, is going to be a jazz fan. ↗

I still continue to do at least four concert tours a year, and in many cases, as many as six. ↗

To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I've been doing that for 20 years. ↗

There are very few groups that really stay together. The leaders of groups make enough money to be able to afford to work a maximum of 35-40 weeks a year. ↗

Often I had to imagine the things I needed. I learned very early to read amidst noise. And so I started writing and drawing at an early age. ↗

I did not volunteer for the Waffen SS, but was, as were thousands of my year group, conscripted. I did not then know as a 17-year-old that it was a criminal unit. I thought it was an elite unit. ↗

I was assigned to the Waffen-SS but was never involved in any crime. Besides, I always felt the need to write about my experiences in a larger context one day. This has only developed recently, now that I have overcome my inner aversion to writing an autobiography in the first place, specifically one having to do with my younger years. ↗
