I'd like to build what I call an oasis.

Jazz is a very democratic musical form. It comes out of a communal experience. We take our respective instruments and collectively create a thing of beauty.

I didn't even apply. There was no warning.

They don't tell you why they chose you. And they won't say who was on the committee.

I always resented the role of a drummer as nothing more than a subservient figure.

The people who really got me off were dealing with the musical potential of the Instrument.
