Jazz Has Been Such A Force In Music, That Any Musician, Including Classical Composers, Have Been Influenced, And Obviously Performers, Also.

When We Enlarge Our View Of The World, We Deepen Our Understanding Of Our Own Lives.

What Came Up At Age 49 Is I Realized That Of All The Things I'm Interested In, The Thing I'm Most Interested In Is Figuring Out What Makes People Tick, Why People Think The Way They Do, Why They Act The Way They Do. And I Realized That Music Is Such A Great Way To Investigate Why People Do What They Do.

Once Something Is Memorable, It's Living And You're Using It. That To Me Is The Foundation Of A Creative Society.

I Think Of A Piece Of Music As Something That Comes Alive When It Is Being Performed, And I Feel That My Role In The Transmission Of Music Is To Be Its Best Advocate At That Moment.
