“We all have the natural human tendency to take the safe route — to do the thing we know will work rather than taking a chance.
But that’s the antithesis of jazz, which is all about being in the present.
Jazz is about being in the moment at every moment. It’s about trusting yourself to respond on the fly.
If you can allow yourself to do that, you never stop exploring, you never stop learning, in music or in life.”
– Herbie Hancock
