You know when I was younger I used to look at Downbeat Magazine and I figured anybody in Downbeat must be making a living.

And there are a lot of people interested in creative music, there are more and more and more.

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 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.

Music is very important. It's important as a tool for learning, it can be a tool for healing, it can be no telling what, as long as we remain free to be able to create the music, to be able to experiment and to really research, and to really get time to develop the music.

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

These people are interested in a wide variety of music, and that's what we're into.
