James Moody Quotes

Every jazz musician that we know, man, spends just as much time studying, or even more, than a doctor or a lawyer. I mean, he's practicing. And then some guy comes along, "Like, I think I'll buy a guitar and I'll be a star next month." And that's what it is. Turn the electricity up loud and bang, there it is.
James Moody 

The flute embouchure is different from the saxophone, but that's not a problem. The first thing I tell anybody is if you're going to play something, go ahead and do it. Get a teacher and do it. But don't start by thinking about the problems, because if you think there's a problem, there'll be problems.
James Moody
