Jazz to me is a living music. It's a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings the dreams hopes of the people.
I am not ridiculing verbal mechanisms dreams or repressions as origins of poetry all three of them and more besides may have a great deal to do with it.
I enjoy making solo albums because over the years it's evolved into more of a genuine personal expression of story-telling and day dreams and I work in a way that has more control.
I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.
A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'
When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning by dreams that need completion by pure love that needs expressing then we truly live.
Even having to do the amount of press that I have to do is dreadful and gives me so much anxiety. After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love ' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said.
After having done this whole slew of press for 'Big Love ' now I'll have anxiety dreams for like a week and a half about all the stupid things I said. I can't even imagine being in front of the cameras all the time. I had a weird dream the other night that I was on 'Jersey Shore.'
Our politics are our deepest form of expression: they mirror our past experiences and reflect our dreams and aspirations for the future.
I stand for freedom of expression doing what you believe in and going after your dreams.
