Jazz has been the voice of freedom for so many countries over the past half century.

Music isn't about music, it's about life.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

Technology has developed to a whole other level and theres the scientist part of me that loves that stuff.

Don't be afraid to expand yourself, to step out of your comfort zone. That's where the joy and the adventure lie.

The most valuable things in life are priceless. They are courage, compassion, wisdom, respect for ourselves and others, and a host of characteristics that we call the beauty of the human spirit.

At a certain point, I became a kind of musician that has tunnel vision about jazz. I only listened to jazz and classical music.
