“On a date, I play a variety of tempos. I set my own tempos and I take my time. I wish jazz were played more often for dancing. I have a lot of fun playing for dances because I like to dance, too. The rhythm of the dancers comes back to you when you’re playing. When you’re playing for dancing, it all adds up to playing the right tempo. After three or four tempos, you find the tempos they like. What they like changes from dance date to dance date.” - Lester Young
