The reaction to this album has just been fabulous around the world... and I've had offers to perform from around the world and I'm tempted to do it. I've got itchy lips.

When I finish an album and I find myself listening to it in the car, because it makes me feel a certain way, that's the time to try to let other people know about it.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

Selfishly, I make music for me. I like to make music. I like looking for songs. I like working with interesting musicians. I like producing records. It's something I will always do.

Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.

I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

I'm sure I'll go back again and record in the digital process.

It's very clean. With tape, you get noise.

Mexican Shuffle was a turning point of the Brass.

The Japanese seem to be a loyal audience.
