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

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

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

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

One very fundamental thing has not changed and I realized that it will never change... is that I really need to go home and practice.

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

My first relationship to any kind of musical situation is as a listener.
