It's Interesting To Do Other People's Music

We're All Just Bags Of Bones And Muscle And Hormones; I'll Never Understand What Makes Our Minds Do The Things We Do. It's Like That Statue Of The Monkey Holding A Skull. We're Trying To Use A Thing We Don't Understand To Understand Ourselves.

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.

Madonna Is Interesting. She Changed Music. She Definitely Did. She Gave Me An Opportunity That No One Else Would Give Me, So I Am Very Grateful To Her.

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.

It's Interesting To Do Other People's Music - That's How I Learned To Play, By Learning Other People's Songs. It's Nice To Delve Into How Other People Got To Where They Are.
