I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly

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

...to me if it's anything, jazz is a verb-it's more like a process than it is a thing.

Jazz is not something that can be defined through blunt instruments. It is much more poetic than that.

I saw A Hard Day's Night 12 or 13 times.

Its more about conception and touch and spirit and soul than whether my hardware was in place.

As much as I have done collaborations over the years, I am actually kind of a reluctant partner.
