The Main Thing In My Life...is That

I Love Playing And Working On Music. It Is Something That I Feel Really Lucky To Be Able To Spend My Life Doing. And I Don't Sleep Much!

Jazz Is Not Something That Can Be Defined Through Blunt Instruments. It Is Much More Poetic Than That.

Learning To Play Is Mostly About Learning To Hear, And Learning To Really Listen Deeply To Sound In A Musical Way Is A Lifetime's Worth Of Work.

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 Think That The Melodic Piece Of The Puzzle In Music Is The Most Esoteric And Difficult To Quantify.
