I've played with so many people that I never really noticed that I was playing with so many people until after it was compiled on the Internet. I just kept going. I haven't even heard half the records I've played on, to tell you the truth.

I love playing for people.

I play like I play. You hear it on 'Celebration Day.' It's pretty good for a one-night shot.

I like performing in front of big crowds.

I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.

I really like playing people who are exciting to watch and who burn brightly.

I come to play everyday.

I've played so many moms, best friends, sisters and understanding people.

I love playing to people and seeing them react.

I really enjoy listening to players on the cusp of swing into bebop like Charlie Shavers, Clifford Brown and Clark Terry. They balance immense facility on their instrument with rhythm, melody, and more complex harmonies of the time.
