Jazz is not background music. You must concentrate upon it in order to get the most of it. You must absorb most of it. The harmonies within the music can relax, soothe, relax, and uplift the mind when you concentrate upon and absorb it.

As the mind is stimulated and the soul uplifted, this is eventually reflected in the body Picture Quote #1

Now as jazz musicians we’re saying for this society, you can free up your imagination. You can proceed in an area without much information and you can function in an area without much information Picture Quote #1

I’m not a jazz artist. Don’t get me wrong now, it’s all music to me. I just played music and if it’s likeable, someone liked the sound, then fine, but I’m not interested in being a jazz musician. I don’t consider myself a jazz musician. I don’t have anything to do with that word Picture Quote #1
