You play ensemble things that you had no idea you were going to play two minutes before.
The way we look at it, everything is a sound.
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.
Jazz is neither specific repertoire, nor academic exercise... but a way of life.
What I've been trying to do for years is to get the music played on a station other than jazz stations, you know, to expand the audience.
