If Music is a Place -- then Jazz is the City, Folk is the Wilderness, Rock is the Road, Classical is a Temple.

Now that rock is turning 50, it's become classical itself. It's interesting to see that development.

Jazz is the folk music of the machine age.

I grew up listening to everything. You know, from Argentinean folk music, tango, jazz, rock, just everything.

My mom loved rock n' roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around. He liked classical music and Duke Ellington.

That's folk music, swing, country blues, old time country, jazz. It's the roots of American music.
