Music is a reservoir... of sounds.
When you know the lyrics to a tune, you have some kind of insight as to it's composition.
In jazz, there is a lot of European influence harmonically.
What I'm doing, I prefer to call that jazz, because it is a beautiful word - I love it.
If you can't play the Blues you might as well hang it up.
Jazz to me is a living music. It's a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, hopes, of the people.
