Smokin' at the Half Note is the absolute greatest jazz-guitar album ever made. It is also the record that taught me how to play.
I think I represent a more left-wing view of what jazz is
I think I have a basic sound aesthetic that is in most of what I do
More and more as time has gone on, I realize that playing is really more about listening than it is about playing.
Most guys at Berklee are going to wind up truck drivers.
One very fundamental thing has not changed and I realized that it will never change... is that I really need to go home and practice.
