Listening Is The Key To Everything Good

It's A Shame That Jazz Is Now Being Turned Into Dried Fruit. It's Becoming Quantized, Diced And Defined. It's Becoming An Idiom. To Me If It's Anything, Jazz Is A Verb ? It's More Like A Process Than It Is A Thing.

I Try To Be Prepared For The Moment, Through Understanding, And Being Warmed Up, Knowing All About Chords And Scales, So I Don't Even Have To Think And I Can Get Right To What It Is I Want To Say.

Im Always Trying To Find Connections Between Things. That Art Is The Juxtaposition Of A Lot Of Things That Seem Unrelated But Add Up To Something Recognizable.

Somehow Trumpet Is The Reference Point For Me It Was Actually My First Instrument.

Listening Is The Key To Everything Good In Music.
