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.

I Started Off With Classical Music, And I Got Into Jazz When I Was About 14 Years Old. And I've Been Playing Jazz Ever Since.

I Try To Practice With My Life.

The Arts Have Always Served Relationships Between People Of Different Cultures So Well. In A Way, The Arts Function As A Very Serious Kind Of Ambassador.

Jazz To Me Is The Spirit Of Freedom. I Mean Real Freedom. Freedom To Explore. Freedom To Express. Freedom To Pour Out Your Guts.
