New Orleans Is My Essence, My Soul,

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.

At 14, I Was Playing In Clubs Until 3 A.m. My Dad Was The District Attorney Of New Orleans And My Mother Was A Judge, So I Saw Hookers And Drugs But I Never Wanted That Life.

I Love Orchestrating Music And Conducting And Being On Broadway.

Well, My Dad Was The District Attorney Of New Orleans For About 30 Years.

They Don't Make You What You Are, You Do. You Are What You Choose To Be.
