It's not exclusive, but inclusive, which is the whole spirit of jazz.

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

One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.

I don't go around, the way many musicians do, with earbuds in my ear listening to my iPod all day and just sticking my head in the music all the time.

You make different colors by combining those colors that already exist.

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

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