Charlie Parkeralways filled me with a kind of despair, because he played the way I would have liked to write, and this wasn't possible for me or anyone else. He made poetry seem word-bound.
When I first heard Charlie Parker, I said,'That's how our music should be played.' After we got it together, yeah, I knew we were making something new. It was magic. Nobody on the planet was playing like that but us.
