Music Truly Is The Universal Language.

I've Been Curious Ever Since I Was A Little Kid.

I Don't View Myself As A Musician Anymore - I View Myself As A Human Being That Functions As A Musician When I'm Functioning As A Musician, But That's Not 24 Hours A Day. That's Really Opened Me Up To Even More Perspectives Because Now I Look At Music, Not From The Standpoint Of Being A Musician, But From The Standpoint Of Being A Human Being.

I'm Very Conscious Of The Idea Of Trying To Each Time Present Something That I Haven't Presented Before. It's A Challenge To Me To Find Something New, To Find Something Innovative, But It's Also Very Exciting.

Music Happens To Be An Art Form That Transcends Language.

Jazz Has Been The Voice Of Freedom For So Many Countries Over The Past Half Century.
