Charlie Parker
“Master your instrument, Master the music, and then forget all that *!xy!@ and just play.”
“When I first heard music, I thought it should be very clean, very precise. Something that people could understand, something that was beautiful.”
“Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out of your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.”
“I kept thinking there’s bound to be something else?. I could hear it sometimes, but I couldn’t play it.”
