- Never learned how to drive an automobile.
- Suffered a brain aneurysm in the 1970s. As a result, he can no longer play the trumpet; doing so could dislodge the chip in his brain.
- Recipient of twenty-six Grammys, which is currently more than any living recording artist. Sir Georg Solti holds the all-time record with thirty-one Grammys.
- (1991-1997) Lived with Nastassja Kinski. One daughter, Kenya Kinski-Jones (Kenya Julia Miambi Sarah Jones) (b. February 9, 1993).
- At 17, he began his career playing trumpet and arranging for Lionel Hampton, and later Count Basie, Frank Sinatra, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, and Peggy Lee.
- Frank Sinatra took me to a whole new planet. I worked with him until he passed away in '98. He left me his ring. I never take it off. Now, when I go to Sicily, I don't need a passport. I just flash my ring.
- [on Jack Nicholson] Jack had a great sense of humor. He still does. He's crazy and a beautiful guy. I always think it's nice when somebody who's paid his dues, like Jack, makes it. But he hasn't really changed much.
- When I was studying with Nadia Boulanger, the legendary composer and teacher, in Paris, she used to say "Your music can never be more than you are as a human being". And B.B. King was a great human being.
- [on The Beatles] They were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherfuckers. Paul [McCartney] was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don't even talk about it.
