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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 really like jazz and soul, but I also love so many other types of music, and I didn't want to be afraid to blend and experiment.
I don't think I've ever been true to jazz. There's always a kind of jazz element to what I do. There are a very few genres that I haven't tried out, really, in what I've been doing. As a jazz musician, you can kind of mess about with things with a certain level of musicianship, which helps.
I've always loved jazz.
Jazz is a constant theme in my life. My father is a jazz pianist, and from an early age I have been surrounded by it.
In the last few years I've been listening to jazz more than anything else. I listen to a lot of world music and experimental here and there.
I think jazz is good, but I don't enjoy it. It's not for me.
I listen to jazz mainly. Mainstream jazz.
I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded.
I've got wide tastes, but I don't like jazz.
