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

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

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

Sometimes I try to lose my identity, and I can't get rid of it!

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.

Im always trying to find connections between things. That art is the juxtaposition of a lot of things that seem unrelated but add up to something recognizable.

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