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.

The way we look at it, everything is a sound.

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

It's just about really being sensitive, and trying to play a music that is about music.

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

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

We're just beginning to learn the importance of music in our society.
