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

The trumpet is forceful.

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.

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.

I always tell my students when you're going to be a jazz musician the first thing you've got to do is be a professional musician, and that means you have to feed yourself with the instrument.

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.
