Music Happens To Be An Art Form

Getting The Oscar Had The Biggest Impression On Me.

When A Human Being Is Oppressed, The Natural Tendency Is To Feel Anger. Jazz Is A Response To Oppression That Is Not Bullets And Blood. Jazz Is The Expression Of Harmony ... And At The Same Time Of Hope And Freedom.

As A Human Being, I'm Concerned About The World That I Live In.so, I'm Concerned About Peace.i'm Concerned About Man's Inhumanity To Man. I'm Concerned About The Environment.

Fact Is That I Played Piano And Performed, As A Young Kid, A Mozart Piano Concerto With The Chicago Symphony Orchestra . Don't Forget I Was Only Eleven-years-old And To Be On The Stage At That Age Had Tremendous Impact On Me. Basically Love For Classical Music And Performing As A Kid On The Big Stage Probably Led Toward This Decision, Which Meant That Music Is Going To Be My Big Love But Also My Profession.

Wisdom Corresponds To The Future; It Is Philosophy.
