I have been able to get a small audience. It's not the huge audience, but it's enough to make it possible to play. I appreciate that.

That's kind of my goal: to build a new row of meaningful tones.

Many people do think it's naive to improvise in front of paying customers. I'm not saying one way is better than another.

Names and theoretical things don't occur to me. If they do, I'm not doing my real playing mode.

Sound is the first thing that we tune into.

I understood that if I wanted to work, the saxophone was the main instrument. The clarinet was what we call a double.

Labels don't mean anything to me. I'm trying to play as passionately as I'm able to. If they want to call that cool, that's fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.
