Art Pepper: "Cara begitu banyak musisi dengan meniru Coltrane, seperti...
"Cara begitu banyak musisi dengan meniru Coltrane, seperti itulah yang terjadi pada Charlie Parker - apalagi jika itu bisa dibayangkan. Semua orang yang saya kenal berubah total. Tetapi mereka mengambil hal-hal terburuk dari permainannya - suara kasar itu; itu tidak datang dari cara mereka melakukannya. Cara dia melakukannya sangat bagus, cara mereka tidak bagus sama sekali. Saya hanya akan mendengarkan mereka, katakan: 'Itu peniru burung', dan itu saja; Saya tidak akan pernah mau mendengarkan mereka lagi."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
The way so many musicians slavishly imitated Coltrane, that's the way it was with Charlie Parker - only even more so, if that can be imagined. Everyone that I knew changed totally. But they took the worst things of his playing-that harsh sound; it just didn't come off the way they did it. The way he did it was great, Their way wasn't good at all. I just would listen to 'em, say: 'That's a Bird imitator', and that would be it; I would never care to listen to them again.
