I think that that's the way the music grows and changes and becomes new and creative and vital. It's by synthesizing elements from all around it and not to maintain this kind of rigid myopic kind of tunnel vision, in a sense, trying to maintain a certain kind of purity, or whatever.

I just kinda like playing. I don't necessarily go on tour to promote my albums. I'm on the road all the time. The fact that I have a new record is out is a coincidence.

You're only as good as your last record.

Music is just kind of an expression of who I am. It's what I do.

When I make records, I never listen to stuff after it's done. Ever.

Jazz music by its very nature is just a conglomerate of a lot of different kinds of music.
