One day I heard a pianist play `Honeysuckle Rose,` ... and I was hooked. I said, `What is that?` He said, `jazz,` which was a word I had never heard, and I asked him to spell it for me. My life was changed after that.
It was great music, ... but it has passed. It is wonderful to recall it, fun to hear it, but that is not for me: I get too restless, too bored; I need something new.
I am an improviser, ... I improvise music. Whatever you want to call it all, it is all improvised music. I may capture it and go back and write it down for others, but it was originally improvised.
