Jazz is not gonna be a dinosaur and stay around in one form.

I really love the piano and I feel very fortunate that I am able to play and travel all over the world as my career.

With all the travelling and performing I've been doing, it's hard to find time to practice! But seriously, I probably did most of my practicing when I was younger.

To me living and music are all the same thing. And I keep finding out more about music as I learn more about myself, my environment, about all kinds of different things in life. I play what I live. Therefore, just as I can't predict what kinds of experiences I'm going to have, I can't predict the directions in which my music will go. I just want to write and play my instrument as I feel.

I really do enjoy accompanying people - it's a challenge and a joy when you get it right.

You have to listen to what someone is doing and help them get to where they want to go, musically speaking. I play a supporting role if someone else is soloing, and a guitarist will do the same for me while I am soloing.

I'll just try to keep my mind open to whatever comes my way.
