The cool thing is that jazz is really a wonderful example of the great characteristics of Buddhism and great characteristics of the human spirit. Because in jazz we share, we listen to each other, we respect each other, we are creating in the moment. At our best, we're non-judgmental.

I've been curious ever since I was a little kid.

I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.

Music is not the only reason that I practice Buddhism anymore because it has affected my whole life.

When you struggle to reach for something you don't know, that's where most of the interesting stuff is.

It's part of my nature. I get excited when trying out new stuff, whether it be an idea or equipment. It stimulates my juices.

The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.
