For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

Songwriting is something I really need to work on. I don't have very many songs but I really love it. I would love to be a great song writer some day.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.

I'm not a great piano player.

I hope there are some audiophiles still out there.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.
