I'm aiming that towards people, towards humanity, not even just musicians. Because this is about life, not about musicians.

Musicians tend to limit themselves,

Jazz is a music that translates the moment into a sense of inspiration for not only the musicians but for the listeners.

When I discovered Buddhism, I realized that Buddhism agrees with that. Buddhism adds something, too, which is that your life also never begins. It's eternal.

Not too many people my age really zeroed in on the blues. Most of the people that listened to it were older than teenagers.

Another thing that I noticed is a lot of people in the hip hop scene have a great respect for jazz and have incorporated by sampling some elements that come from jazz.
