When I came to New York after high school in 1959 and started to meet musicians, 'Hot House' was like a standard jam session tune.

My one thing is I continue to be interested and want to be a student. I don't want to be a master. When I'm learning something, I'm in my element.
Art is a subject that is inundated with opinions. In fact, that's all it is about is opinions.
Without a doubt, my richest relationships are my long-term friendships with musical partners, because we make music together. That's what we love to do with our lives.
It's very difficult for me to dislike an artist. No matter what he's creating, the fact that he's experiencing the joy of creation makes me feel like we're in a brotherhood of some kind... we're in it together.
I got to jam with Prince, which is amazing.
I was watching 'Space Jam' when I was a kid but that was pretty much the only thing I knew about the NBA.
FaceTime is my jam.
I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.
I don't know any jazz stuff. I don't know how to jam in that way. So jamming, for me, is writing a tune.
