The music we play is kind of hard to explain. It's music that we really feel.

Many times you never know what's going to happen. You'll play songs that you never thought you were going to play.

They always say that jazz doesn't sell, but it's a lie, because it does sell, and it sells consistently year in and year out.

A chord is just the name of a sound.

We just can't go and try to turn the clock back, that's not happening anymore. You've got to figure something else out.

They're not just interested in one sort of music any more.

Jazz is neither specific repertoire, nor academic exercise... but a way of life.
