Your teaching approach:
It's very important to listen while you're playing. Record yourself as often as you can and learn from your mistakes. Get to know new music everyday, listen to all the details and try to understand the thing as a whole.

Your dream band:
oh, there are so many... Bobby McFerrin, Tom Rainey, Cannonball Adderley if he was still alive, John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Nils Wogram, Scott Colley, Enrico Rava—just to name a few.

How would you describe the state of jazz today?
A gigantic bonanza of great music

If I weren't a jazz musician, I would be a:
Photographer.
