The other saxophones, except as solo instruments, really don't have much point in the orchestra

I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.

You start way down on a low B flat on the tuba and you have a chromatic scale; you can match the colours all the way up, till you get to the top of the trumpet.

When we've finished the current tour I'm going to go back to Italy and see if I can do some more writing.

I would think, of all the saxophones, the baritone would be the most logical instrument if anybody was adding a voice to the symphony orchestra.

Eliminating the piano means that I've always worked closer with the bass than most players.

I like what I hear other guys doing, but the thing that really attracts me is melodic playing.
