I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

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.

I like all kinds of music, though I tend to prefer jazz and classics.

I think with me and the type of music that I'm trying to make, it's always going be soulful because I grew up listening to different types and variations of soulful melodies and jazz, but experimenting with different types of stylistic souls.

I like everything, jazz and classical, and all over the spectrum.

I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop.

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 have a very varied taste in music. Everything from rap to classical to Latino to Rat Pack to jazz.

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.

Musically, I try not to box things in. I try to just play around this spectrum of influences: soul, jazz, and hip-hop.
