Free form jazz means absolutely nothing to me. Because there are no boundaries.

That's the thing about jazz: it's free flowing, it comes from your soul.
It's not easy to play in a framework that requires simplicity and to tastefully find ways to interject the kind of freedom that we have in playing jazz.
Jazz can be a blank canvas full of possibilities.
I don't like freedom jazz - I think it's void of roots and void of foundation.
There's so much spirit of integration and democracy in jazz.
The point of jazz is, you do something and then you go on.
I think that's what I love about jazz is that you can do what you want, and you're allowed to mess up.
I always leaned toward free jazz... experimental jazz and progressive jazz. I feel like jazz is just part of the flavor and palette that you have as a musician to experiment with.
For me, jazz offers so much freedom in the way the music can be interpreted. It's natural to me. It's where I feel most free.
I don't want to do free jazz! Because free jazz - which is the musical equivalent of free marketeering - isn't actually free at all. It's just constrained by what your muscles can do.
