Do you miss it? No. It’s a beautiful instrument, but it’s a difficult instrument too. If I’d had the opportunity to spend a couple of months playing it, I might miss it now, but I never had the chance to get used to the violin. Plus, there were a lot of politics involved, and I don’t miss that either. © Bill Phelps The list of musicians from your home town of Detroit is long and impressive: Betty Carter, Milt Jackson, Kenny Burrell, Thad and Hank Jones, Yusef Lateef, Donald Byrd, Tommy Flanagan, and Earl Klugh, among others. Do you think Detroit produces a different kind of musician? I do. Some cities seem to produce a lot of musicians, and each of those cities has its own sound: Detroit, Philadelphia for instance. One reason is that Detroit is really a city, an inner city. People have relocated there from all over, for both the automotive industry and the music industry – Motown records was there, remember? So you have a mixture of cultures, as well as a mix of musical and other influences. I’m based in New York now. The energy is great here, which is what I need: waking up and hearing the hustle-bustle. It makes you get up and do something. You played for seven years before you learned how to read music. That doesn’t usually happen with violin. My teacher was doing the Suzuki method, but not according to the book. She noticed I had an ear. I think she was so taken by that fact that she let me get away with it. She did put music in front of me, but I could usually tell which way the piece was going, and could play without reading. ਿ஄Interview 13 Did you hear Stephane Grappelli a lot? No. I heard him once or twice live. Unfortunately, I was too shy to go up and talk to him.
