Jazz Music Is The Power Of Now.

When Did We Begin To Lose Faith In Our Ability To Effect Change?

It's Really Not A Stretch. The Checks And Balances Are The Same. The Drums Are The Executive Branch. The Jazz Orchestra Is The Legislative Branch. Logic And Reason Are Like Jazz Solos. The Bass Player Is The Judicial Branch. One Our Greatest Ever Is Milt Hinton, And His Nickname Is "the Judge."

There's Always The Cliche Of The Choir Shouting And Clapping. Ok, You Have To Do That, But There's Also Introspective Parts, Parts Where You Just Follow Someone That's Preaching. There's Lots Of Different Emotions And Moods That A Service Requires.

I Almost Never Watch Tv, Except For '60 Minutes' And Pro Football. I Love Drew Brees, The Manning Brothers And The Steelers' Linebackers.

My Thing Is, Once You Start To Put A Backbeat On Your Music Or Something That Has A Machine In It, You Have Popularity, But You Lose The Flexibility. And You Lose A Richness.
