MJF's Interview with
JASON MORAN
Artists Who Influenced
Andrew Hill
"I finally realized that my source of relaxation is practicing the piano and writing. I’ve tried to do other things, but I’ve learned through the decades that this is what I enjoy most, practicing music and writing.” - Andrew Hill
Jimi Hendrix
"Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens." - Jimi Hendrix
Muhal Richard Abrams
“I think one has one’s own voice when they’re born. I think developing personal approaches to a craft comes from study and research. Seeking and searching. And transferring information that you get from those practices into your own particular approach.” - Richard Muhal Abrams
Thelonious Monk
"What you don't play can be more important than what you do." - Thelonious Monk
