Fletcher: Oh. College?
Andrew: Pennington High School.
Fletcher: What about your mother, what does she do?
Andrew: I don't know, she left when I was a baby.
Fletcher: So no musicians in the family. [Andrew shakes his head] Well, you've just got to listen to the greats then. Buddy Rich, Jo Jones. You know, Charlie Parker became Bird because Jones threw a cymbal at his head. See what I'm saying?
Andrew: Mm-hm.
Fletcher: Listen, the key is to just relax. Don't worry about the numbers, don't worry about what the other guys are thinking. You're here for a reason. You believe that, right?
