I'm talking about noise rock. I don't think that noise rock element belongs in jazz. It's not for me anyway; it just doesn't fit.

I don't have any regrets about the album [Veedon Fleece]. But it's the same old story - an album is basically 35 or 40 minutes of what you do. It's 'part' of what you do.

There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.

If my heart could do my thinking, would my brain begin to feel?

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.

Let your soul and spirit fly.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.
