So What Or Kind Of Blue Were

All My Inspiration Comes From Ahmad Jamal.

I Usually Write From The Rhythm Section...if A Drummer Got A Funky Beat On Some Things - Like A Half-shuffle Or A Shuffle Or A Backbeat That's Even - I Can Write Something.

When I Went In There, We Used Drum Machine On "time After Time" And "human Nature".we Don't Use The Drum Machine To Play A Pattern. You Play The Pattern By Being Consistent.

Audiences - They Like Colour, You Know. I Can Go Out There Wearing A Red Suit, Man, And They'll Say I'm Out Of Sight ... I Think They Should Be Educated; You Should Always Drop Something On An Audience ... When You Get In Front Of An Audience, You Should Try To Give 'em Something. After All, They're There Looking At You Like This. You Can't Go Out And Give 'em Nothing.

It Took Me Twenty Years Study And Practice To Work Up To What I Wanted To Play In This Performance. How Can She Expect To Listen Five Minutes And Understand It?
