This Moment In Time, On This Tour,

For Me There Is Something Primitively Soothing About This Music, And It Went Straight To My Nervous System, Making Me Feel Ten Feet Tall.

Very Much Like That, And Very Much A Loner, Do You Know And I Didn't Fit Really Into Sport Or All Kind Of Group Activities As A Kid, I Couldn't Find A Niche. And Music Was Not Really Part Of The Kind Of Village Curriculum It Would, You Know.

I Listened To King Oliver And I Listened To Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp... I Listened To Everything I Could That Came From That Place That They Call The Blues But, In Formality, Isn't Necessarily The Blues.

The Only Planning I Do Is About A Minute Before I Play. I Desperately Try To Think Of Something That Will Be Effective, But I Never Sit Down And Work It Out Note For Note.

In Playing, I Suppose My Greatest Gift Was To Express The Way I Felt Or The Willingness To Express Myself.
