Don't Bullshit' Just Play.

In The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra We Play Such A Diversity Of Music, With 10 Arrangers In The Band, We Don't Really Worry About Whether It's Contemporary Or Not.

What Is Deeper Than Respect And Love? That’s What We Felt: Veneration.

Some Stances Are Just Conducive To Swinging. If I Stand Up Straight For Too Long It's Harder To Swing. Plus My Feet Hurt.

The Heart Of A Music Is Its Rhythm. The Heart Of Rhythm Section Music Is The Rhythm.

It's Harder To Build Than Destroy. To Build Is To Engage And Change. In Jazz, We Call Progressing Harmonies Changes. Changes Are Like Obstacles On A Speed Course. They Demand Your Attention And Require You To Be Present. They Are Coming...they Are Here..... And Then They Are Gone. It's How Life Comes. Each Moment Is A Procession From The Future Into The Past And The Sweet Spot Is Always The Present. Live In That Sweet Spot. Be Present.
