The Guy Comes Up To The Plate,

I Watch My Contemporaries, And They Love To Live In The Studio And I Don't. I Have A Life. I Treat It As A 9-to-5. I Try To Create Something New Every Day, And Then I Get On With My Life.

I'm Never Satisfied With What I Do.

I've Worked With Jazz Artists, Country Artists, Classical Artists, Pop Artists. I Never Wanted There To Be Categories, Because When I Was A Kid There Weren't.

I Think I've Tried To Stay True To My Music Since The Beginning. It's Kind Of Hard Because Of The Access And Technology But I Just Do What I Do.

Jazz Is All About Improvisation And It's About The Moment In Time, Doing It This Way Now, And You'll Never Do It This Way Twice. I've Studied The Masters. Why Would I Want To Play Ball After The Guys Who Sit On A Bench? I Want To Play Like Michael Jordan.
