I Just Liked The Feeling Of Being

New Orleans Is My Essence, My Soul, My Muse...

With Imagination, I'll Get There.

I've Been All Over The World. I Love New York, I Love Paris, San Francisco, So Many Places. But There's No Place Like New Orleans. It's Got The Best Food. It's Got The Best Music. It's Got The Best People. It's Got The Most Fun Stuff To Do.

There's An Album By Antonio Carlos Jobim - The Album With 'the Girl From Ipanema.' That's The Most Seductive Music Ever.

You Basically Have To Play Everything (in New Orleans), Because You're Getting Calls To Play Gigs Of All Different Styles, From Classical To R&b To Funk; Modern Jazz To Traditional Jazz.
