If you had to call it "unison", it ain't unison. It ain't the same as somebody else. If you can hear that it's unison, and you have to name it something other than "unison", it ain't unison, you know what I mean? It's two guys playin', but one guy is playin' slightly out of tune, one is playin' slightly off meter.

You have to be born with it. You can't even buy it. If you could buy it, they'd have it at the next Newport Festival.

All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal.

To keep creating you have to be about change.

I never thought Jazz was meant to be a museum piece like other dead things once considered artistic.

It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.

Don't be afraid of mistakes - There are none.
