It's very clean. With tape, you get noise.

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.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

We always felt that if you do something with quality and integrity, then it's going to come back to you.

I'm an old-timer in the business from the sense that when you do something that you feel good about there might be another person out there who feels the same way, or a hundred or a couple million.

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.

I think we as human beings need to be able to appreciate each other's differences and I think jazz really takes us in that direction.
