I Think I Represent A More Left-wing

I Think Jazz Is Actually Quite Unforgiving In Its Disdain For Nostalgia. It Demands Creativity And Change At Its Highest Level.

Avant-garde, Jazz, Pop, Classical, Country And Western, Rock, Free, Straight-ahead, Etc. Are Ultimately Meaningless Terms In The Face Of The Music Being Discussed At Best - At Worst, Those Terms Often Serve As Code Words For What Is In Fact A Cultural / Political Discussion More Than A Musical One.

Whatever My Recorded Output Is, It's A Reflection Of A General Love Of Music.

Music Is One Big Thing To Me.

My Older Brother Mike Is An Excellent Trumpet Player. By The Time He Was 12, He Was Playing Around Kansas City In Classical Situations. He Was Already An Amazing Talent.
