Billy Higgins Quotations

You know the drum was the first instrument besides the human voice.

Theres so much beautiful music in the world, and the kids are getting robbed.

The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.

I enjoy seeing young people being interested in what they can do.

The Japanese actually approach the music on a high level. It's always been on a high level.

I might have played a little bit more in Europe than I have in Japan.

Because the stuff that they feed kids now, they'll have a bunch of idiots in the next millennium as far as art and culture is concerned.

It's something that - jazz is one of the few things that you can go and listen to, I don't care where you're from, what you are, what background you come from - there's something there for you.

If I couldn't do it, then I'd be defeated. I've got the tools to do it. I never did question my tools.

If somebody would come and they're not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.
