I decided to leave, man. I was a little disappointed about the financial income
of the quartet in terms of representation to the music world. And I decided to
leave. And then they decided to break the group up as opposed to try to make a
replacement or form a new group. That's what happened. Then we got back together
in '81; we sat down and talked and what not. So, that's really what happened.

I've been a lover of big bands all my life. That's the era I come up in as a kid
now. Because this was before bebop and all of that. I guess they called it 'The
Swing Era' then, you know, the '30's and the '40s. Coming out of the '20's and
things when Duke's music started becoming prominent.
