I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly
Music is one big thing to me.
Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt instruments. It is much more poetic than that.
I try to be prepared for the moment, through understanding, and being warmed up, knowing all about chords and scales, so I don't even have to think and I can get right to what it is I want to say.
Jazz is an idea that is more powerful than the details of its history.
The main thing in my life...is that I really need to go home and practice.
