First I was a European-style player, then I was a downtown 'noise guy,' and now some people call me an Americana guy.

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.

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

I'm basically a pretty shy person and I don't dance or get into fights. But there are all these things inside me that get out when I perform. It's like a real world when I play, here I can do all the things that I can't do in real life.

There's so much music out there & so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.

I spend a lot of time copying saxophone players and trumpet players. Not to say that it is not important to listen to guitar players, but there's so much music out there and so many possibilities. I like anyone who plays any instrument.
