You would think that anyone on a major label would be doing something, but when you speak of major label that means something to maybe a big pop star that might be getting some sort of benefit from the major. But we still don't get anything.

You play ensemble things that you had no idea you were going to play two minutes before.

A lot of jazz is like that; it sells over a period of time.

Because I believe that the future of the music lies in the Internet. It can be sold on the Internet.

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.

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.

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