Quotes from the same author

I have been able to get a small audience. It's not the huge audience, but it's enough to make it possible to play. I appreciate that.
 Lee Konitz
Labels don't mean anything to me. I'm trying to play as passionately as I'm able to. If they want to call that cool, that's fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.
 Lee Konitz
