The Criticism Is That It's Too Simple,

I Don't Play The Traditional Charlie Parker Songs. But I Do Improvise And I Do Create With My Instrument, And That To Me Is Jazz. But There Are People Who Use The Word 'jazz' Only In A Traditional Sense, And They Would Be Offended By That, And That's Fine.

Just Because People Play Songs With Great Technique Doesn't Mean The Records Are Better.

You Can't Just Walk Away When Somebody Recognizes You. You Have To Take Some Time Out And Talk To Them. It's Not A Waste Of Time - I Just Love Talking To People. And I Don't Do This To Sell Records. The Truth Is, I Do What I Do Because I Love It.

The Criticism Is That It's Too Simple, But My Feeling Is It's More Of A Challenge Making Someone Feel An Emotion In Four Notes Than In 25 Notes.

I've Never Personally Criticized Anyone Else's Music, But I Know That The Public's Real Problem Is Not The Music I Make But The Perception That I Play Simple Music For Money Only And For The Notoriety And To Increase My Popularity.
