Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.

I fell in love with jazz when I was 12 years old from listening to Duke Ellington and hearing a lot of jazz in New York on the radio.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

There is an awful lot of what I call recreational jazz going on, where people go out and learn a particular language or style and become real sharks on somebody else's language.

I've been working on the soprano saxophone for 40 years, and the possibilities are astounding. It's up to you, the only limit is the imagination.

I like a lot of electronica. I like older jazz rather than newer.
