I've always been into improvisation.

My whole life has been one big improvisation.

The interesting thing about improvisation is you're making something up in front of the audience. Now music helps you out a little bit because you have an instrument that'll separate you from the audience.

What I want to happen is to be really creative, and to play something new in the improvisations, every time.

What I love about jazz is the improvisation, the fact that you never know what's going to happen next.

I allow a lot of room for improvisation and funny stuff. I always feel planned.

There's always some room for improvisation.

I always had a knack for improvisation. I can write down the notes I play, but never really had a proper academic musical background. I suppose I'm blessed and cursed by the fact I have that freedom.

Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.
