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

People sometimes say it takes a long time to become a Jazz fan, but for me it took about five seconds.

Music is one big thing to me.

It is Jazz's very nature to change, to develop & adapt to the circumstances of its environment.

There's more bad music in jazz than any other form. Maybe that's because the audience doesn't really know what's happening.

I think that the melodic piece of the puzzle in music is the most esoteric and difficult to quantify.

Jazz demands that you bring to it things that are valuable to you, that are personal to you.
