In music I feel most deeply the passing of things.
Writing more and more to the sound of music, writing more and more like music. Sitting in my studio tonight, playing record after record, writing, music a stimulant of the highest order, far more potent than wine.
notes fly so much farther than words. There is no other way to reach the infinite.
jazz is the expression of America's romantic self, its sensual potency, its lyrical force.
