I actually get a metallic taste in my mouth when I think about electric music.

You know, when people look at a tree, they look at the leaves; they don't look at the spaces between the leaves. They're focused on the tree. I think there's an awareness of spaces or it wouldn't look like a tree to them.

I can't even tolerate my own playing on electric keyboards. It's not about the musical ideas - the sound itself is toxic. It's like eating plastic broccoli.

I cannot say what I think is right about music. I only know the rightness of it. Jazz is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple.

If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your body, why would you not play it?

I'd like to think our guys have a sour taste in their mouth. Both teams will be familiar with one another. Whoever makes the adjustments from game one to game two will win. But I'd like to see our team have the fire in their eyes.
