Actually, it is a fact that I've been doing more writing than playing in recent years.

People are approaching electronic levels in music; although not all of it happens to tickle my fancy

What I came back to is that jazz is a music to be played and not to be intellectualized on.

Actually, when I was very young, first starting to play, I think I probably listened more to clarinet players than to saxophones.

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

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.

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