I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

I like to listed to the adventurous guys - the Coltranes, Miles Davis, the guys who just let it loose.

Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience.

I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.
