Nice People by Paul Desmond
* Bonus Tracks
"I think I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to sound like a dry Martini."
"I have won several prizes as the world’s slowest alto player, as well as a special award in 1961 for quietness."
"Writing is like jazz. It can be learned, but it can’t be taught.“
"I tried practicing for a few weeks and ended up playing too fast.“
"I was unfashionable before anyone knew who I was."
- Paul Demond
