I'm not trying to keep up or adapt. I'm allowing myself to grow, evolve and create new music.
“My entire life has really revolved around music that was written about the time that I was born, 1908, to just before the First World War and shortly after it. This music I've always known, and it is that music that's most important to me.”
“I never studied art, but taught myself to draw by imitating the New Yorker cartoonists of that day, instead of doing my homework.”
