Mastery is playing whatever you're capable of playing-every time-WITHOUT THINKING.

Just before I play, I like to feel that no-one has ever played the piano before, that I'm in complete virgin territory, and that every note I play is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.

Bill Evans described his tunes as vehicles; they are vehicles for self-expression, or expression of the self.

I never call myself modern or traditional, in our out, new or used, because I prefer not to be hemmed in by rigid definitions.

Music can shoot through the musician like lightening through the sky if that music is unobstructed by thoughts.

In fear, we expect; with love, we accept.
