    “Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I’ve come close to matching the feeling of that night in 1944 in music, when I first heard Diz and Bird, but I’ve never got there.... I’m always looking for it, listening and feeling for it, though, trying to always feel it in and through the music I play every day.”
