"At first I didn't understand what [Thelonious Monk] was doing, but I went back again, and what I can say about Monk is that I heard ancient Africa in his music. When he played, it was like a ballet.

I'm sure that element he had in his piano was part of the two years he spent traveling with his mother in gospel music in the tent shows."
