For me, the main technical challenge in jazz, a music genre that became autonomous gradually in the twentieth century, was to combine and match a greater musical demand with a fair deal of humility as regards orchestral means. The trios or quartets I have been showcasing my work on the road, for many years now, provide the most refined examples of my writing; sometimes simple tunes, sometimes a radically simplified version of larger pieces in the orchestration concept. These are, in fact, my Jazz Standards… My life has revolved around them, and still does.
