Everybody talks about finding your voice. Do your homework and your voice will find you.

What is jazz? It, It's almost like asking, What is French? Jazz is a musical language. It's a musical dialect that actually embodies the spirit of America.

You know, being America, being the land of "number ones", everyone wants to be a leader before they follow.

I'm not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense.
