I may play the same songs night to night, but I never play them the same way.

Every song is different.

Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.

I don't know who was the one that came up with the notion that you have to play the same songs every concert.

With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.

If you do the same thing every night, that's the death of music.

The same music is playing on the radio in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there's the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week.

Every now and then, a lot of bands doing the same kind of music will organically sprout up at once.

The same song on a different day was a different song.

Every song asks to be sung in a different way.
