“I'm a hybrid-genre person, which a lot of people find confusing. I grew up listening to American country music and rock n' roll made between 1955 and 1959.

“You never know that this is the moment when you're in the moment. When I was sixteen I moved to a smaller town in Vermont, and at that time I didn't have a band to play in. So I was forced to play in Top 40 bands and fraternity bands and wedding bands. That was all pop music, but I was listening to Weather Report and classical music. Then I went to Berklee College of Music in 1978, and you had Victor Bailey there, and Steve Vai. And suddenly I was among my ilk.” KnowsPlayMomentsCollegeListeningBandTownsMovedPopsWeatherReportsClassical MusicPop MusicSixteenFraternityVermontWedding Band Author:Stuart Hamm
“Well, you know, the first step I took was to drop the alto and baritone and concentrate on tenor exclusively, a decision I've never really looked back on with any regret. Another thing was that I was 17 when I moved up there, and my listening had really focused on freer music in the previous couple of years- Coltrane was playing with his expanded group, and everyone was listening closely to that, and we were into Shepp and Ayler as well.” KnowsYearsFirstsWellsDecisionStepsGroupsRegretListeningCoupleMovedFocusedFirst StepsTenorsColtraneBaritones Author:David S.

“There are two things that really move me: music and acting. And I'm not talking about my music or watching myself as an actor, but listening to other people's music and watching other actors.

“If I want to be moved by the track, I don't want it to be sequenced, I want it to be somebody playing the guitar or piano or a horn arrangement where you can hear the breath. You can almost smell the studio while listening to the music. For me, that's what moves me emotionally, that's what I came from. I think that's always going to work best for me.” IfsThinkingWantMovingListeningBreathsMovedGuitarTrackStudiosSmellPianoArrangementsGoing To WorkHorns Author:Eric Benet
