“I was listening to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, because that was new music for me. I really hadn't been up on them. I mean, I'd heard of them, but I wasn't up on their music. And I kept listening to Radiohead, and I was like, Man, I want to make hip-hop that feels like Radiohead. I want to make hip-hop that can use guitars and soul and jazz and just fuse it all together.” MenWantFeelsMeanSoulUseTogetherHeardListeningJazzGuitarHip HopHipsHopsNew MusicHendrixFuseRadiohead Author:Will Ferrell
“In order for a musician to grow, he's got to pay his dues. Some musicians ask me, 'well, what do you mean? You're saying I have to 'starve' and pay all these dues just to play jazz?' And my answer to them is, well, to some degree, yes! Because in order to play jazz you have to live it. Those notes mean something. They don't just come from your brain, they come from your heart and soul too. And in order to have that heart and soul you have to experience life. So I relate my music to my life and my life style. You can't separate the two.” WellsHeartMeanTwoSoulPlayOrderAsksGrowsAnswersPayBrainStyleDegreesMusicianJazzNotesDuesRelateAsk MeHeart And SoulLife Style Author:Woody Shaw
