I Think Secretly I've Realized After My

My Father Was A Jazz Tenor Sax Player. He Played In A Lot Of Big Bands. So I Had That Sound Around Me All The Time. The First Record That Really Caught My Ear Was Clifford Brown's 'brownie Eyes.' I Grew Up Listening To John Coltrane And Illinois Jacquet. This Is Where I Come From... I Love Improvisational Music.

Our Leaders And Osama Bin Laden All Claim To Do The Right Thing In The Name Of God. I Question That. I Wonder If That God Is Worth The Life Of Another Human-being.

Music Is My Only Guide. I Don't Care If People Pigeonhole Me. Miles Davis Is My Hero. He Covered Cindy Lauper And Michael Jackson, And He Didn't Give A Hoot About What The Purists Said.

My Favorite Period Is When We Lived In The Land Of The Three-minute Song. The Motown Thing - I Thought They Were Genius In Knowing That's As Much As A Listener Can Take.

I'm Always Tryin' To Do Something New, Tryin' To Look Like A Beginner.
