Here in England we live at a slower pace, have more time to enjoy things - like good jazz.

I love September, especially when we're in it.

So I went into jazz and performed in jazz clubs all over the country.

I like to go hear jazz late-night up in Harlem.

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

So I'm in my 51st year of playin' mostly nightclubs. I do some concerts.

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.

Jazz is not the format where I want to stay, but it really is a starting point for me.

Jazz is very much a part of my life. I work with the Thelonious Monk Institute and do the artwork for their program every year.

You have to go out and learn jazz by playing.
