“Who isn't a fan of Ray Charles?” — John Scofield Quote

“Who isn't a fan of Ray Charles?”

“It's one thing to sit at home and write a piece with your guitar, and quite another to have it performed by four people. For me, it's always trial and error.”

“I have to work at tunes to get them to come out. Sometimes I'll sit there for four or five hours and get absolutely nothing.”

“I enjoy writing personal essays in the way of Charles Lamb because it goes back to the school days when I was good in writing essays.”

“Listen to any cantor, any good hazan, sing and you can hear a little bit of Ray Charles going on.”

“There are probably more internet hate sites about me than Charles Manson.”
