“I heard Sidney Bechet play a Duke Ellington piece and fell in love wit...” — Steve Lacy Quote

“I heard Sidney Bechet play a Duke Ellington piece and fell in love with the soprano saxophone.”

“I wanted to be a pianist but it just wasn't my thing. I guess I wanted to stand up rather than sit down.”

“I've always been extremely lucky in playing with great people who knew much more than I did. That's how I got from there to here.”

“Duke basketball, that tradition and what it means to the school, is pretty neat.”

“Duke as a program speaks for itself. Coach K is the greatest coach of all time.”

“Duke has a lot of haters, but I know it means you're doing something right if they're hating you.”
