I Think Of My Shows As Family

I Want To Sit With My Legs Wide Open And Laugh So Loud That The Whole Damn Restaurant Turns And Looks At Me.

I'm Glad I Made A Piece Of Art That Can Be Interpreted So Widely. Art Is Always Interpreted Subjectively

For Me Music Is A Vehicle To Bring Our Pain To The Surface, Getting It Back To That Humble And Tender Spot Where, With Luck, It Can Lose Its Anger And Become Compassion Again.

I Was Curious And Hungry At A Young Age, And Jazz Was Such A Mystery To Me, An Ocean Where You Can Express Yourself In The Moment. It Represented Freedom, It Represented Wearing Wings And Going Somewhere With Music.

I See My Albums As Working Diaries, As Living Scrapbooks Of Me And My Life.
