The Main Thing In My Life...is That

It's A Shame That Jazz Is Now Being Turned Into Dried Fruit. It's Becoming Quantized, Diced And Defined. It's Becoming An Idiom. To Me If It's Anything, Jazz Is A Verb ? It's More Like A Process Than It Is A Thing.

Music Is What You Notice When It's No Longer In Your Presence.

I Try To Be Prepared For The Moment, Through Understanding, And Being Warmed Up, Knowing All About Chords And Scales, So I Don't Even Have To Think And I Can Get Right To What It Is I Want To Say.

My First Relationship To Any Kind Of Musical Situation Is As A Listener.

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