“I don't consider myself a musician who has achieved perfection and can't develop any further. But I compose my pieces with a formula that I created myself. Take a musician like John Coltrane. He is a perfect musician, who can give expression to all the possibilities of his instrument. But he seems to have difficulty expressing original ideas on it. That is why he keeps looking for ideas in exotic places. At least I don't have that problem, because, like I say, I find my inspiration in myself.” GivingIdeasProblemInspirationSeemsPerfectPiecesPossibilityExpressionMusicianPerfectionDifficultyOriginalsInstrumentsFormulasExoticOriginal IdeasColtraneExotic Places Author:Thelonious Monk
“Lenny Breau is one of the true geniuses of the guitar. I suppose he is a musician's musician. His knowledge of the instrument and the music is so vast, and I think that's what knocks people out about him. But he's such a tasty player too.

“...I do like the low frequencies. It's from years and years of observing audiences when they hear a lower frequency coming from an instrument it tends to pull them in. You have to listen a little more attentively. High frequency instruments hit you so hard, after a while the ear has a tendency to want to shut down. And that's what happens. I've been able to observe very carefully how people tend to get very tired of listening to high frequencies a lot.” PeopleWantYearsLittlesHardHappensAbleAudienceListeningMusicianLowsEarsDown AndInstrumentsTiredTendenciesObservingFrequency Author:Bennie Maupin
