I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double. ↗

After I left Texas and went to California, I had a hard time getting anyone to play anything that I was writing, so I had to end up playing them myself. And that's how I ended up just being a saxophone player. ↗

I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that. ↗

I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument. ↗

When somebody turned me on to a Coltrane record around seventh grade, I took up saxophone. ↗

I played saxophone, so I was into jazz. I learned from each audience and each teacher that I had. I can't really tell you any rules or anything, but the way I develop my beliefs is really just by personally learning from different situations. ↗

I have not practiced saxophone since 1980. I mean, not one note. I do not pick it up in my house, and that's the end of it. ↗
