There has to be a real strong reason to do something with someone for me.

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

I think I represent a more left-wing view of what jazz is

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

I think I have a basic sound aesthetic that is in most of what I do

I was deep in the zone of practicing almost constantly

Jazz is an idea that is more powerful than the details of its history.
