It's a shame that jazz is now being turned into dried fruit. It's becoming quantized, diced and defined. It's becoming an idiom. To me if it's anything, jazz is a verb ? it's more like a process than it is a thing.
Jazz music will continue to thrive, possibly in unexpected ways.
The best musicians are not the best players, they're the best listeners.
I hate the way chorus boxes sound
What I look for in musicians is a sense of infinity
More and more as time has gone on, I realize that playing is really more about listening than it is about playing.
