I just try to do as good job with the material as I can and play some jazz as well, some improvised music, and do that every night. Just see where it goes. ↗

I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me. ↗

I'm playin' music for a certain type of person. Fortunately, there are more and more of us. At least there are more comin' to see me than there were 30 years ago or so. ↗
