Going up north with the redwoods and driving along the coast, it's got everything, man. It's got the desert, the mountains, and the ocean. It's beautiful.

Jazz can be so serious, no sense of humor.

Edible names are what drives me as a musician. My next band will be called the Hot Dogs.

I was in every band class I could get in, like after school jazz band and marching band, and that's where I really learned to read music from elementary all the way through junior high and high school.

I'm a musician. It's what I do! I wouldn't be too good at anything else.

I just love to play and I get a chance to play with other musicians and I jump on it.
