Do jazz because you love it. I hope to have a body of work, which truly represents my time and presence on this planet. I have many musical ambitions and know that only I can bring them to fruition. Jazz gives me the grounding to express how I feel about music, and playing keeps me humble. I am always so honored to play with the people I admire most.
Jazz is very honest that way.
Well, thanks again Lee for enjoying what I do, so much. It's great to know someone who loves the standards as much as I do. Playing jazz into the 21st century is both fun and enlightening. The freedom in jazz and independence is here. Musicians like Charlie Parker and Ella Fitzgerald helped us to realize that dream.
