I love jazz because it is not boring. I love music where improvisation is the name of the game. I hate trying to slavishly duplicate someone else's version just because they're famous. I'd rather absorb and internalize their ideas and have them come out in my own voice.

Erik Truffaz Quintet

I love having a conversation with the other musicians. I love having a huge repertoire that I can play, instead of a few “perfect” concertos, and I love the emotional, rather than cerebral, aspect of this music, yet without resorting to cliche'd emotional gimmicks. I love being with people who are dedicated to the craft, and I love striving for the virtuosity necessary to perform this music as it deserves. By Member since: 2016.
