We played it as long as we could play it on that CD and I think it might be 50 minutes, maybe. What you have to do is play a couple of songs and then get off the stage because everything that trails it sounds stupid.

You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs work well as quartet songs, sometimes they don't.

The biggest problem with American music right now, is that kids don't listen. They come by it honestly, Americans don't listen anyway. When people go to concerts, they say I'm going to see... not, I'm going to hear.

My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician.

Jazz is so incestuous that it's starting to kill itself.

So much of Jazz doesn't have an audience other than music students or musicians.
