 My parents had a pub and each Sunday there was an accordionist. They have told me that when I was in my cradle, I already was imitating the gestures of the musician. |
| And if I have a strong point, it's that I like to believe it's not cheap or schmaltzy sentimentality. |
| You can be in Tokyo or Alberta at four in the morning in your hotel and you can still practice if you feel like it. A trombone cannot do that at four in the morning. |
| The harmonica is a great instrument. |
| My father bought me a little cardboard accordion, and when I was three I got this little machine. |
| Well, being a jazz musician is not a rose garden! |
| Today jazz is still very much alive. Everywhere I go there's a new generation of musicians. |
