To do it always right, that is what music is to me.

In 1994, I started touring again and I recorded two albums for Chesky Jazz.

I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.

To do it always right, that is what music is to me.

Whether it's string writing or whatever, I try to write for what each instrumentalist can do best.

I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance.

I find it very difficult to compose when I'm not playing.
