Wisdom Corresponds To The Future; It Is

I Hope To Use Dialogue And Culture As A Means Of Bringing People Of Various Cultures Together, And Using That As A Way To Resolve Conflict.

In World War Ii, Jazz Absolutely Was The Music Of Freedom, And Then In The Cold War, Behind The Iron Curtain, Same Thing. It Was All Underground, But They Needed The Food Of Freedom That Jazz Offered.

So Much Of What I Create Has Been Due To The Influence Of Miles Davis And Donald Byrd, And So Many Of Those That Have Passed On. Their Music, Their Legacy Lives On With The Rest Of Us Because We Are So Highly Influenced By Their Experience And What They Have Given Us.

Music Isn't About Music, It's About Life.

It's Not Exclusive, But Inclusive, Which Is The Whole Spirit Of Jazz.
