Gerry Mulligan

Only the French, I guess, really use tenor and alto to any great extent in the orchestra.

So I played alto for quite a while until I saved up the money for the baritone.

I've appeared on some other people's albums.

I'm a huge Dallas Mavs fan. What I love about Dirk Nowitzki is he has just as much talent as everyone else, if not more, and he never toots his own horn. He's this silent warrior.

The whole period has taught me that I enjoy being part of an ensemble rather than just a front man. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy that too, but I get more enjoyment out of really listening to everyone.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
