It is Jazz's very nature to change, to develop & adapt to the circumstances of its environment.

Jazz music will continue to thrive, possibly in unexpected ways.

I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly

I just have never seen anyone build anything significant in any field without having a deep and detailed sense of what they are building on.

Learning to play is mostly about learning to hear, and learning to really listen deeply to sound in a musical way is a lifetime's worth of work.

There has to be a real strong reason to do something with someone for me.

If jazz has to be termed as a wave, then music is a sea, but if the reflectors in the water is the chord.
