The people in Japan know more about the history of jazz and the musicians than the people in the United States do.
I enjoy seeing young people being interested in what they can do.
If somebody would come and they're not playing music, they would encounter certain people on another level.
Not just younger people but older people, too, because the drums are that kind of instrument where people are not intimidated.
To know the tradition of the music, you have to know about certain people and certain concepts. It's a learning process.
I think that people should learn about that. In most music, there's one way that you do something, and that's the only way. In jazz, it's a lot different.
It brings people together. It brings the races together. It brings religions together.
