I Think I Represent A More Left-wing

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.

People Sometimes Say It Takes A Long Time To Become A Jazz Fan, But For Me It Took About Five Seconds.

There's More Bad Music In Jazz Than Any Other Form. Maybe That's Because The Audience Doesn't Really Know What's Happening.

I Think I Have A Basic Sound Aesthetic That Is In Most Of What I Do

Jazz Demands That You Bring To It Things That Are Valuable To You, That Are Personal To You.
