Teddy Wilson (and His Orchestra) Quotes

"My working scene today is just taking whatever bookings come up; I don�t turn anything down. I�m for sale; I�ll play with a hundred pieces or do a solo job. Bobby Hackett and I work with a quartet sometimes.
Teddy Wilson

Within reasonable limits, a professional player should keep busy at music, even if it�s a commercial job that you don�t like. Fortunately, I am able to do a majority of pleasurable jobs, but I have done commercial jingles and stuff for radio and TV. They pay well and, since I have lots of responsibilities, children to support, I need to make money. If it�s enough money, I�ll play the North Pole."
