What I look for in musicians is a sense of infinity

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

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

Avant-garde, jazz, pop, classical, country and western, rock, free, straight-ahead, etc. are ultimately meaningless terms in the face of the music being discussed at best - at worst, those terms often serve as code words for what is in fact a cultural / political discussion more than a musical one.

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.

The best musicians are not the best players, they're the best listeners.
