Something happened in the nineties. There was a shift. I don’t want to blame it on grunge or the rise of indie - but that was basically it. It was seen as dirty and kind of ignorant to have these ambitions, to want to be a big band Picture Quote #1

Since the big band started I’m just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it’s very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music Picture Quote #1

One interesting thing about jazz, or art in general, but jazz especially is such an individual art form in the sense that improvisation is such a big part of it, so it feels like it should be less soldiers in an army and more like free spirits melding.

The last part is the fact that it’s danceable Picture Quote #1

I love Black Sabbath. They made an amazing contribution to music today. Almost every band that made it big in the Nineties owed a debt to them Picture Quote #1

I think The Doors are one of the classic groups, and I think we’re all tempted to feel like the time in which we grew up was somehow special, but I really do believe that there were two golden eras in music: The Forties and Fifties of big band, jazz and swing, and the Sixties and Seventies of rock. To me, they’re really unparalleled Picture Quote #1

I understand why there’s a natural suspicion of the Next Big British Band Picture Quote #1

I love most melodic music - classical, reggae, big band, jazz, blues, country, pop, swing, folk Picture Quote #1

It’s a big shame, because ‘Trixter’ in my mind were what a real rock n’ roll band is all about Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to have a band that can adapt to whatever show we’re in, so we can play on a big stage or a house show Picture Quote #1

To actually get together and make a band record feels like a bit of a big deal, and that can be quite daunting when you’re musicians Picture Quote #1

For any band that ends up becoming really big, yeah, hard work has something to do with it, but a lot of it is just pure luck Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it’s inherently wrong when bands do certain things - sometimes I’m really excited when I see a band has taken a big ad or sync Picture Quote #1
