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

You can expand, repeat, even change keys and do other things electronically to give certain elements and phrases more cohesiveness.

When I was young I used to listen to everything.

Jazz is a music that is open enough to borrow from any other form of music, and has the strength to influence any other form of music.

I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.

Like no matter what happens, this would be the ultimate, they can make something positive happen.

One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
