Music is very spiritual, it has the power to bring people together.

Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music.

My music had roots which I'd dug up from my own childhood, musical roots buried in the darkest soil.

Music should be your escape.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.

Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

I wake up in the morning, I do a little stretching exercises, pick up the horn and play.

Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
