Listen to a lot of traditional music. The further you go back, the more you know, and can go forward. Listen to older cats like Lester Young, Ben Webster, and Duke Ellington. Use imagination. Imagination is key. It’s a gray area that separates musicians. Love yourself and your sound. Be fearless.

–Bobby Watson, American Saxophonist & Composer
