One of the great things about having good players in your band is that you just ask them questions. You can pick up some good information that way.

I seldom play in a trio, but acoustic music is likely to be lighter, quicker, and quieter.

Sometimes I had to room with Tony Kaye and that was awful.

Second edition of Earthworks I have the more traditional compositional approach, namely I write a piece from the piano.

I warm naturally to the drummer whose ideas and approach are strong, even if he doesn't quite have the ability to carry them out.

If I was hearing something I couldn't do, I would figure out how to do it.

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.
