Emotions are the fuel to really move you along, that’s the only way you can create music. If you don’t feel any emotions, like it’s not going to happen.

Still for fun, I play the drums, but I don't do much recording with them.

The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing.

My mother is a singer, still performs today; she's a jazz singer.

I spent well over a year on the road with Sarah Vaughn. That was amazing.

You never know what you find once you really get going.

Growing up, I was very much interested in jazz music.
