It’s always difficult to define what jazz is or what jazz isn’t. To me, the only definition that I can think of is it’s music where a lot of different elements are played at the same time. The harmonic, the melodic... You’re pushing the boundaries on every level. That could be true of rhythm and blues as well. I’m a musician Picture Quote #1

My drummer, Gene Lake, is Oliver Lake’s son. So I certainly have wide tastes, in not only what I listen to, but what I play as well Picture Quote #1

I have pretty ecumenical tastes. I’m interested in a lot of different kinds of music, so I don’t listen with a jaundiced ear to music because it’s in a certain category, whether it’s country or opera or hip-hop or bebop or whatever it is Picture Quote #1

Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that’s a lifelong quest Picture Quote #1

Jazz music should be inclusive. Smooth jazz to me rules out a certain kind of drama and a certain tension that I think all music needs. Especially jazz music, since improvising is one of the cornerstones of what jazz is. And when you smooth it out, you take all the drama out of it Picture Quote #1

I tend to play in a way that feels natural to me. To me that’s authentic for myself. I play by where I’m led by some sense of where I feel I’m supposed to be Picture Quote #1
