New Year's Eve, we're going to be doing a concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Symphony Hall. It makes me feel good, because of all the people they could have had, they wanted me! We do have to do a little work with the rhythm section. ↗

If he's a true symphony artist, he knows better than that because he knows that the only truly creative musician is the jazz musician. ↗
