I was taken in by the bravado and the sounds of Mexico... not so much the music, but the spirit.

You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.

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

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

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.

Instrumental music can spread the international language.

The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.
