I've watched the demise of the Hollywood orchestra, the house orchestras of the big studios.

I also work with the regular orchestras in Munich, Germany and other similar orchestras.

I grew up on film scores and scores from films.

I listen to everything, I listen to all artists that come along.

I recorded with Sinatra, but the recording business is a very strange strata right now.

Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing - which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music.
