The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.

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

I'm seduced by the arts in general. Arts is like the power of now.

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.

If you look at a record under a microscope, the high frequencies are short jagged edges... and the low frequencies are long swinging ones are deep bass sounds. When it cut it at half speed, you're getting more of those on the record.

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

Arts is like the power of now. When you're performing, when you're playing, when you're sculpting, painting, it's that moment. I'm in the moment of my life, and that's what I love to do.
