Thank YOU for the link, it's a wonderful interview. I love Woody Shaw, the best jazz trumpet player of the last 30 years. Like Ingrid, I never really copied any of his stuff, just a couple things (and I do use a couple little gestures) but he was to me the last great stylist. His stuff is HARD. Very un-trumpet like, more like saxophone lines. My first real recording of his was Stepping Stones, totally blew me away. Woody III is way up there as is Rosewood. I like how he writes, too. I spent many a night at the Jazz Showcase mesmerized by Woody's great artistry.

If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
