MJF's Interview with
PECK ALLMOND
Artists Who Influenced
Clifford Brown
"Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived." - Herb Alpert
Lester Young
"The trouble with most musicians today is that they are copycats. Of course you have to start out playing like someone else. You have a model, or a teacher, and you learn all that he can show you. But then you start playing for yourself. Show them that you're an individual. And I can count those who are doing that today on the fingers of one hand." - Lester Young
John Coltrane
"When there's something we think could be better, we must make an effort." - John Coltrane
