I'm concerned with trend. I don't know where jazz fans will come from 20 years from now.

I'm not a big jazz fan.

My dad is a big jazz fan, and that was the reason I first got into jazz.

I wouldn't really say I'm a jazz guy, which I'm not.

Jazz is an art that takes decades to appreciate and understand.

I feel like I'm a torchbearer for jazz, fostering its tradition but its future, too.

Well, actually, I don't consider myself a jazz legend or anything.

If I'm not a jazz player all the time, I've at least been cued in to what I do by jazz.

Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.

Jazz celebrates older generations and not just the youth movement. When you 'sell' only to people of a certain age, you get cut off from the main body of experience.
