Jazz groups have to make a living any way.
They were missing all the enthusiasm, the creativity; that whole excitement about the music was lost. A lot of people are really going back looking for that.
They're not just interested in one sort of music any more.
These people are interested in a wide variety of music, and that's what we're into.
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.
