More From Kenneth Rexroth

I love jazz. so to me, there are two main types of jazz. there's dancing jazz, and then there's listening jazz. listening jazz is like thelonius monk or john coltrane, where it's a listening experience. so that's what i like; i like to make stuff that you listen to. it's not really meant to get you up; it's meant to get your mind focused. that's why you sit and listen to jazz. you dance to big band or whatever, but for the most part, you sit and listen to jazz. i think it comes from that aesthetic, trying to take that jazz listening experience and put it on hip-hop.
Thinking Dancing Listening
Jazz is the greatest american art form and our greatest export. we don't pay attention to the youth of jazz, don't stoke the fires creatively for the youth coming up. i feel like jazz musicians became too much of purists - with donald byrd doing funk jazz in the '70s.
Art Fire Musician
I grew up in a home filled with music and had an early appreciation of jazz since my dad was a jazz musician. beginning at around age three i started singing with his band and jazz music has continued to be one of my three passions along with acting and writing. i like to say jazz music is my musical equivalent of comfort food. it's always where i go back to when i want to feel grounded.
Appreciation Dad Passion
We're [with robbie robertson ] jazz musicians. the context may be rock 'n' roll but it's still jazz. it's jazz and that means improvization...you play a tune the way it feels and you play it differently every time. it can never be the same.
Mean Rocks Play
I don't mind being classified as a jazz artist, but i do mind being restricted to being a jazz artist. my foundation has been in jazz, though i didn't really start out that way. i started in classical music, but my formative years were in jazz, and it makes a great foundation.
Artist Years Mind
I met gary (burton) at the wichita jazz festival when i was 18 -- he was one of my favorite musicians and i got to play a few tunes with him there. shortly after that, i joined his band, which was the equivalent of joining the beatles for me! he was, and still is, one of the greatest musicians i have ever been lucky enough to be around.

There's always a chance. somebody has got to want me, and if they don't want me, then what? i want to play. i want to do what i want to do.
Play Nfl Want
I've always been a player that likes to get round the back and get crosses in for other people. when i first burst on to the scene some people only saw the goals i was scoring. more recently they've taken notice of the goals i've set up. it is nice to be recognized for that.
Nice Taken Player
A lot of things happened when i left there, and to be fair they treated me really bad, and now i have to play against them so i don't have any feelings for them at all.
Sports Play Feelings
But when i first fell in love with the piano, i knew it was me. i was dying to play.
