happened hiatus numb physically somewhat spoke
The hiatus you spoke about happened in 1998. I was somewhat numb from being out on the road every night. I had to stop because I was emotionally and physically drained.
decided handle pay performance quite rehearsal somebody taking unless
To pay 60 musicians for rehearsal and performance is quite something, and I decided I wouldn't be able to handle that kind of situation financially again, unless somebody else was taking care of that end of it.
hearing listen music people recorded thirty today
I think people today are hearing music that I recorded thirty years ago and do not listen to it as if it is something old but just something good.
dances grew music people together
I remember, when I grew up, going to dances was just a lot of fun. But when people get together now, music is the first thing that happens.
bebop
We may play in a contemporary rock vein, use standard bebop themes, and many other things besides.
Then I loved the fact that we were actually recording live.
music people pure rather recently ronnie rooms situations
Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
believe music
Because I don't believe music can be free unless it has something to be free from.
anyhow formality happened people
What's happened - in our country, anyhow - is that the young people have shied away from the formality of the concert hall, that tie - and - tails philharmonic image.
enjoy lifting music people
For me, lifting the people up, making them enjoy what we're doing is as important as it is for me to play the kind of music I want to play.
thinking watches albums
I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance.
writing trying strings
Whether it's string writing or whatever, I try to write for what each instrumentalist can do best.
music-is
To do it always right, that is what music is to me.
talking people way
Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you're sincere and honest with what you're doing, and by talking to them.
