In The Midst Of Creating, A Person

I Told My Students The Other Day In Class, Which Is About The Spirituality And Creativity As Much As It Is About Music. I Said, 'if You're Walking Down The Street And You See A Baby Carriage, And There's A Baby In The Carriage; You Look Down And Your Eyes Meet The Eyes Of The Baby. The Baby Looks At You: That's The Kind Of Moment You're In When You're Playing.

I Just Try To Play Music From My Heart And Bring As Much Beauty As I Can To As Many People As I Can. Just Give Them Other Alternatives, Especially People Who Arent Exposed To Creative Music.

I Just Sit Down At The Piano And Rattle It Off.

The Artist Is Very Lucky, Because In An Art Form That's Spontaneous Like Jazz, That's When You Really See Your True Self. And That's Why, When I Put Down My Instrument, That's When The Challenge Starts, Because To Learn How To Be That Kind Of Human Being At That Level That You Are When You're Playing - That's The Key, That's The Hard Part.

As Long As There Are Musicians Who Have A Passion For Spontaneity, For Creating Something Thats Never Been Before, The Art Form Of Jazz Will Flourish.
