Spirituality Is Worthless If It's Not Practical.

At The Risk Of Sounding Hopelessly Romantic, Love Is The Key Element. I Really Love To Play With Different Musicians Who Come From Different Cultural Backgrounds.

I Was Dealing With A Lot Of Spiritual Questions Like "who Am I?" "what Is God" "what Is The Meaning Of Life?" All Of These Questions That I Think We Can Either Face Head On Or Choose To Ignore, It's Up To Us.

I Just Want To Keep Exploring Music And Hopefully The Orders Will Keep Coming In And I'll Be Able To Keep Growing The Interior And Exterior Sides Of My Life.

When Indian Musicians Play A Raga It's Very Restrictive. But, In A Way These Restraints Are Essential To Liberate Yourself Through Them, If That Makes Sense. I'm Very Much Of This School Of Rhythm, It's The Direction I'm Drawn In When I'm Writing And Improvising.

I Find Indian Music Very Funky. I Mean It's Very Soulful, With Their Own Kind Of Blues. But It's The Only Other School On The Planet That Develops Improvisation To The High Degree That You Find In Jazz Music. So We Have A Lot Of Common Ground.
