When I'm at home I practice everyday.

The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.

If you can get a twelve year-old kid to go listen to Thelonius Monk, what more do you want? Do you want a big pile of cash, too? That's a home run for me.

My brother was always in bands and on the road when I was a kid and he was my inspiration. He never made it with a big band, in fact he never made a record. Here he is fifty-something years old.

I feel really good in the teacher role.

When I'm at home I practice everyday.

If you put the right things out there the right things will happen.
