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

Because people really got tired, too, of the same old formatted sort of thing, and the same old formatted music.

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

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

We expect the listener to have, like, a movie going on when they hear us. That's what it's all about for us.

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

We have the freedom to either play a tempo or not to play a tempo; to play a note or not to play a note; or to play what some people would say is a sound.
