Jazz is the big brother of Revolution. Revolution follows it around.
It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.
Always listen for what you can leave out.
That was my gift . . . having the ability to put certain guys together that would create a chemistry and then letting them go; letting them play what they knew, and above it.
When we edit the music, I always remember, "It's my band. Save me a place to play."
In respect for drummers, see, I love drummers.
