For me, great jazz records really feel like everyone in the room is playing together in a zone - and all the musicians are completely in sync with each other.

Comedians talk to other comedians the way jazz musicians can talk to each other.

I want musicians to be looked at as people that are not just doing one thing.

I know of musicians who have played together for decades who hate each other. The Modern Jazz Quartet for one.

'Sunrise Sunset' is a letter I wrote to a girl I was once with who I really thought I was going to fall in love with. We tried to make it work but always had trouble maintaining a real relationship because we were both so caught up with work, life, and everything else that at the time seemed like it was the priority.

What it would have felt like to fall in love and have nothing holding you back from being completely free.
