Music Truly Is The Universal Language.

Back In The Day For Me Was A Great Time In My Life - I Was In My 20s. Most People Refer To Their Experiences In Their Twenties As Being A Highlight In Their Life. It's A Period Of Time Where You Often Develop Your Own Way, Your Own Sound, Your Own Identity, And That Happened With Me, When I Was With A Great Teacher - Miles Davis.

I Got A Chance To Work With Miles Davis, And That Changed Everything For Me, 'cause Miles Really Encouraged All His Musicians To Reach Beyond What They Know, Go Into Unknown Territory And Explore. It's Made A Difference To Me And The Decisions That I've Made Over The Years About How To Approach A Project In This Music.

Globalization Means We Have To Re-examine Some Of Our Ideas, And Look At Ideas From Other Countries, From Other Cultures, And Open Ourselves To Them. And That's Not Comfortable For The Average Person.

I Like The Idea Of An Eclectic Approach, Incorporating Jazz With Other Forms And Other Genres Of Music.

I Think Risk-taking Is A Great Adventure. And Life Should Be Full Of Adventures.
