The Moment is an album that contains the best music I have ever produced.

The criticism is that it's too simple, but my feeling is it's more of a challenge making someone feel an emotion in four notes than in 25 notes.

I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion.

I started realizing that music is the one area where I've always let go. When that saxophone goes into my mouth, I get into a space where I never think about the notes I've already played or anticipate the notes ahead.

Just because people play songs with great technique doesn't mean the records are better.

That's my ideal day, time with my boys.

I think everybody has to kind of decide what the word 'jazz' means to them, and that's fine.
