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.

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.

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

I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.

The passion and spontaneity in music is all gone.

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.
