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

I was able to work with the best musicians in Kansas City starting when I was really young

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.

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

Jazz is an idea that is more powerful than the details of its history.

The more I can learn about music, the more I learn about other things.

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.
