Smokin' at the Half Note is the absolute greatest jazz-guitar album ever made. It is also the record that taught me how to play.

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

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

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

Somehow trumpet is the reference point for me it was actually my first instrument.

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

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