I just see myself as a human being that's concerned about life.

You have to see your unimportance before you can see your importance and your significance to the world.

Before music there was silence and the duet format allows you to build from the silence in a very special way.

In the midst of creating, a person is raised to another level of consciousness that doesn't have that much to do with everyday thinking. It's as if you could imagine life before there were words.

As long as there are musicians who have a passion for spontaneity, for creating something thats never been before, the art form of jazz will flourish.

I just try to play music from my heart and bring as much beauty as I can to as many people as I can. Just give them other alternatives, especially people who arent exposed to creative music.

The whole underlying theme for the new music... is to communicate honest, human values, and in doing that to try to improve the quality of life.
