You Can Have The Greatest Player In

If I Can Get Out Of The Way, If I Can Be Pure Enough, If I Can Be Selfless Enough, And If I Can Be Generous And Loving And Caring Enough To Abandon What I Have In My Own Preconceived Silly Notions Of What I Think I Am - And Become Truly Who In Fact I Am, Which Is Really Just Another Child Of God - Then The Music Can Really Use Me. And Therein Lies My Fulfillment. That's When The Music Starts To Happen.

I'm Not Any Different From You Or The Guy Down The Street Or Across The Globe, We're All Connected In Some Way And Hopefully My Music Can Integrate That Feeling Of Human Connectedness.

I Practice All The Scales. Everyone Should Know Lots Of Scales. Actually, I Feel There Are Only Scales. What Is A Chord, If Not The Notes Of A Scale Hooked Together?

I Don't Have Any Particular Goals In Making A Recording. In A Way The Recording Is Itself The Goal. The Music Comes Into My Mind, And From There The Main Job Is To Give Form To It.

For Me, Rhythm Is A Type Of Divine Mathematics In A Way. No Matter Where You're From, We Can All Understand The Mathematics Of Rhythm. I Try To Apply This Mathematical Thinking To My Playing.
