For years, Jazz At The Philharmonic albums were the only ones of their kind.

I allowed artists to play for as long as they felt they could justifiably continue to create.

I don't know who's 18 years old today that, 20 years hence, is going to be a jazz fan.

I don't think I will ever do any tours again in the United States. I rather think that that's over with.

I don't think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it.

I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.

I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe.

I still continue to do at least four concert tours a year, and in many cases, as many as six.

I'm concerned with trend. I don't know where jazz fans will come from 20 years from now.

If I were to put on Barbra Streisand and Duke Ellington, one might say the combination isn't good.
