Jazz comes from a tradition where it swings. Swing was the main ingredient of jazz. And once it loses the swing...well, that's it.

I realized that what I was looking for was doing collaborations with other people - people who can play a ballad, rock, jazz. I was looking for more co-op type things than what I had been doing, which had been completely my own trip.

I also like to do physical things. I like swimming a lot. I like traveling. Not touring traveling but just plain traveling. I also read a lot. Reading takes up most of my time.

At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.

Memories, how they linger in the twilight and in the wee small hours sometimes just before dawn.

I don't like to condemn people because what that means is that you're only condemning yourself about a part of you that you can't stand.

I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That's what I apply to everything.
