“Now I’m considered to be a pioneer” rather than a “nut case, jack-of-all-trades....Whether it’s conducting a symphony or playing in a bar, it’s all the same thing. You’re putting something out there, you hope to get something back, & then you take what’s given back to you & put it out there again.”
At 95, David Amram Still Makes Music. And Nobody Can Put Him in a Box.
