Ray had so much love of life and the music. He had so much integrity. He treated the music with so much dignity and respect. I spent four and a half years as a sideman with Ray Brown's trio. Music was his life more so than anyone I could mention.
I don't really believe in diets. I love food... If I deprive myself I'm going to want it more. I snack on yogurt raw cashews and cherry tomatoes.
