Tags: Jazz, Music, StyleI'm not really married to the craft of jazz - I'm married to me, and my style, and whatever I produce.
Tags: Married, Style, WhateverIf you really dissect hip-hop you will find a whole lot of Charles Mingus, Ron Carter, Ahmad Jamal, a lot of classic jazz samples in there.
Tags: Classic, Jazz, WholeMy first memories of life were in rehearsal; that's why I can sleep through anything.
Tags: Life, Sleep, WhyThe music is going to die if you don't tap into something that people today can relate to.
Tags: Die, Music, TodayYour main radio stations, the stations that get the most listeners, don't play anything that has any kind of integrity to it.
Tags: Integrity, Main, RadioEverybody's not going to like jazz, let's just be honest about it. Everybody doesn't like everything. There's a disconnect in generations and some people just aren't going to feel that music.
Tags: Everybody, Honest, MusicI do feel a responsibility because most people like me that are my age or younger, they don't quite make it over to the jazz side. They flirt with it, but they don't quite marry it.
Tags: Age, Flirt, QuiteI started out playing traditional jazz, and I still do: I love standards, I love the music. But it must move on, and it must live and breathe, and continue to grow, and continue to change, and continue to mesh with other music - all that kind of stuff. Jazz can be on the playground too, you know.
Tags: Change, Love, MusicI try to get the hip-hop aesthetic, most times without an MC. I don't use a rapper or a DJ to give it the hip-hop style; it's strictly the band that makes that music, which is a lot harder to do.
Tags: Give, Music, TryI was really a nerd, and I was really more of a jazz nerd. So when I had my chance to put on something, most of the time it was going to be jazz, or gospel, or something like that.
Tags: Chance, Put, TimeI've heard some people say that I'm selling out, but I'm not. If I hadn't done 'Black Radio', and just kept on doing just piano trio stuff, I wouldn't be honest with myself; I'd be doing it to please other people. That would be selling out.
Tags: Black, Done, HonestJazz is like a big secret club. The mainstream media doesn't pay any attention to it; it's, like, 1 percent of the music market - no one cares. Why? Because the majority of jazz is old.
