I love working with the quartet. I have more freedom and flexibility.

As a guitar player, you can gravitate to the blues because you can play it easily. It's not a style that's difficult to pick up. It's purely emotive and dead easy to get a start with.

As far as other instrumentalists, I used to love mellow sax players like Paul Desmond. I love piano.

There is not a lot that keeps me glued to the radio as I used to be.

I am not a jazz singer. I wouldn't place myself on that footing. I wouldn't even enter that arena.

I really just followed my musical instincts every step of my life.

I would say that I'm finding my voice in more ways than one.
