My goal was never to sell many records.
I have been recording for five decades now.
Music is meant to be a beautiful thing.
Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you're sincere and honest with what you're doing, and by talking to them.
In 1994, I started touring again and I recorded two albums for Chesky Jazz.
Not with the Rochester Philharmonic, but I formed my own orchestra, made up of musicians from the Eastman School, where I'm on the faculty now, direct the Jazz Ensemble and teach improvisation classes.
