Color is a plastic means of creating intervals... color harmonics produced by special relationships or tensions. We differentiate now between formal tensions and color tensions just as we differentiate in music between counterpoint and harmony.

Jazz vision is the fusion of music and art a real paradox of same-yet different. Here we play in exchanges like the hardness of the key of c# major and from the softness of Db major - capturing reflecting and improvising.

I like so many different kinds of music just because all I did was listen to the radio as a kid.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things but mostly it's the music.

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening but we're having a good time.

I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music I will go and live back in Wales - when I am an old person if I live to be an old person. The water I miss and the air there's something different about it. And I miss the simple life.

I've had to keep exploring different ways of presenting the music so I don't repeat myself.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears however measured or far away.

What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.
