| "I listen with stylistic innocence as well as critical intelligence. I identify genres but ignore their limits. I preserve my roots as I extend my branches. Coming from a tradition but walking toward the horizons. It takes me on a journey while it keeps me close to home. Focused and eclectic: specialization and inclusion can go hand-in-hand. Put it in the pocket, but keep it on the edge. Give me a naked soul and a mature mind. You can be grounded yet still be free. With a swing. In the groove. Playing jazz. Playing music" -Joshua Redman |
