The Whole Underlying Theme For

Before Music There Was Silence And The Duet Format Allows You To Build From The Silence In A Very Special Way.

I Learned At A Very Young Age That Music Teaches You About Life. When You're In The Midst Of Improvisation, There Is No Yesterday And No Tomorrow — There Is Just The Moment That You Are In. In That Beautiful Moment, You Experience Your True Insignificance To The Rest Of The Universe. It Is Then, And Only Then, That You Can Experience Your True Significance.

I Just Try To Play Music From My Heart And Bring As Much Beauty As I Can To As Many People As I Can. Just Give Them Other Alternatives, Especially People Who Arent Exposed To Creative Music.

I've Got A Collection Of Songs That I've Had, I Keep Adding To And They're All Great American Composers. I Wanted To Showcase American Composers And I've Done That On A Lot Of My Records And Played Things By American Composers That I Really Respect.

It Used To Be That Creative Music Was Most Of The Music That You Heard Back In The '30s And '40s, And Now It's Like 3 Percent. So, Its Kind Of A Struggle Getttin' It Out There.
