| Q.: *How do you continue to grow? What types of things do you practice or do every day to constantly improve yourself musically, as well as anything else? |
| A.: I continue to grow by continuing to listen (primarily for pleasure, to the music of others that I love; but also sometimes critically, to my own music, which most of the time I can't stand....) and by continually seeking out the most challenging and inspiring musical situations, where I have the opportunity to collaborate with the most creative and committed musicians. |
