Don't Bullshit' Just Play.

I Worry More About The Marketing That's Taken Hold Since The 70s. The Jazz Era, The Swing Era, Those Were Huge. Entire Decades Were Named For Music. In The 1940s - After World War Ii - Changes In Taxation, Ballrooms Closing, People Moving To The Suburbs, And The Onset Of Target Marketing And The Confusion Of Commerce With Art Caused Some Things To Happen As A Result That Have Taken Us Away From Jazz And What Jazz Offers Us.

We're Blues People. And Blues Never Lets Tragedy Have The Last Word.

I Always Like To Play Very Contemporary Concepts Of Swing Right Next To New Orleans Music Because It Highlights Continuum.

There Is An Idea That A Mind Is Wasted On The Arts Unless It Makes You Good In Math Or Science. There Is Some Evidence That The Arts Might Help You In Math And Science.

I Wanted To Make Somebody Feel Like Coltrane Made Me Feel, Listening To It.
