Each Human Being Exists Because There's Something They Have To Offer For The Evolution Of The Universe That Only They Can Fulfill.

I Don't Go Around, The Way Many Musicians Do, With Earbuds In My Ear Listening To My Ipod All Day And Just Sticking My Head In The Music All The Time.

Jazz To Me Is The Spirit Of Freedom. I Mean Real Freedom. Freedom To Explore. Freedom To Express. Freedom To Pour Out Your Guts.

I Keep Recycling And Repackaging Music That I've Done In The Past, As Though I Can't Write Anymore. Like, Okay, I'm Done With That. But I Need To Kind Of Prod Myself Again Into Come On, Herbie, Get Off Your Duff And Start Writing Some New Music.

I Don't View Myself As A Musician Anymore - I View Myself As A Human Being That Functions As A Musician When I'm Functioning As A Musician, But That's Not 24 Hours A Day. That's Really Opened Me Up To Even More Perspectives Because Now I Look At Music, Not From The Standpoint Of Being A Musician, But From The Standpoint Of Being A Human Being.
