Jazz music should be inclusive. Smooth jazz to me rules out a certain kind of drama and a certain tension that I think all music needs. Especially jazz music, since improvising is one of the cornerstones of what jazz is. And when you smooth it out, you take all the drama out of it.

爵士乐应该是包容的。对我来说,流畅的爵士乐排除了某种戏剧和某种张力,我认为所有音乐都需要这种张力。尤其是爵士乐,因为即兴创作是爵士乐的基石之一。当你平静下来,你就把所有的戏剧性都去掉了。
