To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I've been doing that for 20 years.
I don't know who's 18 years old today that, 20 years hence, is going to be a jazz fan.
There are very few groups that really stay together. The leaders of groups make enough money to be able to afford to work a maximum of 35-40 weeks a year.
I'm concerned with trend. I don't know where jazz fans will come from 20 years from now.
I still continue to do at least four concert tours a year, and in many cases, as many as six.
For years, Jazz At The Philharmonic albums were the only ones of their kind.
