On my first recording date I had the honor or working
with the great jazz drummer, Billy Higgins.
We were sitting in the control room, listening back
to one of the tracks we had just finished.
It sounded great: note perfect, vibrant, alive.
Then the engineer said,
"You know, the tempo sped up. The song ends faster than it began."
And Billy said,
"So what? What do you think we are - machines?"
We are not machines
and the more we standardize
and follow instructions
the less human we become.
My job is to be more human
more connected
more flexible
more resilient
more passionate.
