I actually get a metallic taste in my mouth when I think about electric music.

I grew up with the piano. I learned its language as I learned to speak.

If music is sound & came from silence, then silence is potentially greater than sound.

Jazz is one of the least learnable art forms.

You know, when people look at a tree, they look at the leaves; they don't look at the spaces between the leaves. They're focused on the tree. I think there's an awareness of spaces or it wouldn't look like a tree to them.

Your own music comes out of your head and emotions, but it's not etched in your system.

If a person plays dissonance long enough, it will sound like consonance. It's a language that was alien and then it's less and less alien as it continues to live.
