WES MONTGOMERY
It’s impossible for me to feel like there’s only one way to do a thing.
There’s nothing wrong with having one way of doing it, but I think it’s a
bad habit. I believe in range. Like, there’s a lot of tunes that I play
all the time-sometimes I hear ‘em in a different register. And if you
don’t have complete freedom, or you won’t let yourself get away from
that one straight line, oh, my goodness, that’s too horrible to even
think about. 1968's interview
