• For many of us, conversion is an ongoing process and not a onetime event that results from a powerful or dramatic experience.

Conversion unto the Lord requires both persistence and patience.

• There was a lot that was tricky about playing with [Thelonious Monk]. It's a musical language where there's really no lyrics. It's something you feel and you're hearing.

You really had to listen to his arrangements and the way he would play them. On his solos, you'd really have to listen good in there. You'd have to concentrate on what you were doing as well.
