People sometimes say it takes a long time to become a Jazz fan, but for me it took about five seconds.
Im always trying to find connections between things. That art is the juxtaposition of a lot of things that seem unrelated but add up to something recognizable.
I think I represent a more left-wing view of what jazz is
Listening is the key to everything good in music.
My first relationship to any kind of musical situation is as a listener.
I don't worry too much about the fundamentalist principles that are in almost any discussion about Jazz.
