So I Didn't Actually Change My Name

One Thing That Sticks In My Mind Is That Jazz Means Freedom And Openness. It's A Music That, Although It Developed Out Of The African American Experience, Speaks More About The Human Experience Than The Experience Of A Particular People.

I've Had A Life That Has Taken Many Interesting Paths. I've Learned A Lot From Mentors Who Were Instrumental In Shaping Me, And I Want To Share What I've Learned.

Music Happens To Be An Art Form That Transcends Language.

One Of The Greatest Experiences I Ever Had Was Listening To A Conversation With Joni Mitchell And Wayne Shorter. Just To Hear Them Talking, My Mouth Was Open. They Understand Each Other Perfectly, And They Make These Leaps And Jumps Because They Don't Have To Explain Anything.

I Think There's A Great Beauty To Having Problems. That's One Of The Ways We Learn.
