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

My harmony is passable but is usually made more eloquent at the hands of Steve Hamilton.

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.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it's five guys sitting around reading manuals!

Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.
