I started in New Orleans music and played all through the history of jazz.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new it's only for the experts, but when it gets older everybody wants it.

In composition you have all the time you want to decide what to say in 15 seconds, in improvisation you have 15 seconds.

When I found the music of Monk I finally found music that fit that horn. Every one of his tunes fit it perfectly.

A young pianist & composer who has demonstrated an exceptional creativity, in both his playing & his writing, as well as showing us all, his very strong commitment & motivation to aim for high musical goals. Talent like his is rare.

I've been working on the soprano saxophone for 40 years, and the possibilities are astounding. It's up to you, the only limit is the imagination.

I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.
