“I’m always nervous when I look around the studio and see musicians with paper all over the stand; and here I am with nothing. I feel I’m missing something. I always panic, but it always works out.”

I read somewhere that he was so intimidated by the classical musicians during the strings sessions he couldn't play so he recorded his parts separately.

I’ve seen pro classical players being really intimidated by a jazz player joining them. It works both ways.
