The bass, no matter what kind of music you're playing, it just enhances the sound and makes everything sound more beautiful and full. When the bass stops, the bottom kind of drops out of everything. ↗

As long as there are musicians who have a passion for spontaneity, for creating something that's never been before, the art form of jazz will flourish. ↗

I have music inside me and I'm very lucky to be able to play music and that's the way that I try to do it. ↗

I just try to play music from my heart and bring as much beauty as I can to as many people as I can. Just give them other alternatives, especially people who aren't exposed to creative music. ↗

When we first started playing we did a lot of rehearsing. We used to write out everything. In fact, that's the way everybody rehearses: we play the tunes and improvise. ↗
