Bill Dixon


Free jazz trumpeter -- via jazzwise magazine

Quotes:

"If you are you, 24 hours a day, then you do not have to remember who you are supposed to be in different situations -- something that I imagine could be troublesome."



"My career has been different from most people, but I knew what I was not going to do. I knew I was not going to be controlled. I knew there was a price for this, but I did not know there was as large a price as it turned out to be."



"Whether I get adequate attention or not, people here do know the work I have been doing systematically and without compromise for over 40 years. I get tired of people making excuses for guys who don't continue the art because they can't make a living."
