Life is a lot like jazz.. it's best when you improvise.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.

The jazz always seems to automatically come out, because it was from my jazz days that I learned that spark. And the nice thing with my band and this repertoire, which is a complete joy, is that we go beyond just playing chords and melody. It is music that can stretch out.

When I'm in my normal mood, music drips from my fingers.

True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people and the time. My people are Americans and my time is today.

I frequently hear music in the very heart of noise.
