The piano is like an orchestra - I'm very fortunate that I chose it as my instrument.

Playing solo is difficult because you have to keep the momentum yourself. You have to continue to create and develop, so it forces you to stretch in a variety of ways.

My mother gave me a choice. She said, 'Would you like to take singing lessons or piano.' I'm glad I chose piano.

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.

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

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.
