I wanted to play some more grown-up music - jazz.

Growing up, I was very much interested in jazz music.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.

I find early jazz to be the most revolutionary music of its time.

I'm really getting to appreciate traditional jazz now - the New Orleans stuff - a lot more than I did before.

One thing I like about jazz is that it emphasized doing things differently from what other people were doing.

Jazz music creates so many phenomenal figures.

I was exposed to jazz early on.

I'm thrilled when I hear the greatest jazz musicians. They continue to search in ways other musicians do not.
