Music Is One Big Thing To Me.

...to Me If It's Anything, Jazz Is A Verb-it's More Like A Process Than It Is A Thing.

I Was Able To Work With The Best Musicians In Kansas City Starting When I Was Really Young

I Just Have Never Seen Anyone Build Anything Significant In Any Field Without Having A Deep And Detailed Sense Of What They Are Building On.

Players Get To That Intermediate Level Where They Can Already Play Pretty Good, And That's Kind Of A Dangerous Period Because They Tend To Start Playing Only The Things That They Can Play, Rather Than The Things They Can't.

I Don't Know If I Would Qualify As Mainstream. I Think I Have Managed To Function Pretty Successfully On The Fringes Of The Music World And Have Been Able To Play Exactly What I Have Wanted The Way I Have Wanted
