I grew in the inner city, listening to Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, James Brown, The Commodores - lots of soul music.
I don't really see huge barriers between any styles of music.
I'm a spa person. Massages keep me relaxed, so I always try to make time for them when I tour.
Miles Davis is a major influence of mine in terms of the way that I am as a bandleader.
I listen to a lot of singers, because I find phrasing to be one of the most essential elements of playing.
Italy has great food and Barcelona has great energy.
I love Amsterdam. The city is vibrant and alive. It's fresh and so open. It's definitely one of my favorite places.
