Music doesn't hurt anybody, that's what's amazing. Everything is in there, every kind of human emotion, from the darkest to the lightest. And it has power. Unbelievable power.

Every time I play with someone, not just a new person, but someone I've been with all along, that's where I really learn.

It's incredible how one song or even one little phrase or just a few notes, if you really concentrate on it, can be a kaleidoscope of possibility.

To me, jazz is a place where anything is possible.

I hate labels; the problem is that if you say you're one thing, it's hard for people to imagine you as something else. Music is way more complicated than that.

I've been lucky with the circle of people I'm playing with. We've played enough that there's a language we talk with each other when we play.
