Otherwise, we're depriving the world of the next Louis Armstrong.
-
The next Charlie Parker.
-
I told you the story about
-
how Charlie Parker became Charlie Parker, right?
-
- Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head. - Exactly.
-
Parker's a young kid, pretty good on the sax.
-
Gets up to play at a cutting session, and he fucks it up.
-
And Jones nearly decapitates him for it.
-
And he's laughed off-stage.
-
Cries himself to sleep that night,
-
but the next morning, what does he do?
-
He practices.
