I have a lot of influences. I'm American-schooled. I'm classically trained. I'm a pretty universal student, if you will. I have a lot of degrees, which really don't pay the rent. I have two doctorate degrees, I have a bachelor's degree, but I'm still a cook. ↗

To most white people, jazz means black and jazz means dirt, and that's not what I play. I play black classical music. ↗
