Why Jazz?

I'm often asked why I play Jazz? Firstly I don't know what Jazz is. It's something that listeners dub the sound, not the cats who actually play the music. Jazz is supposed to do what a true artist wants which is to Improv as often as reasonable. Music has to have structure to a large extent but not a restricted time signature or chord progression all the way through on all tunes. The freedom of the expressive chord is the ultimate gift a music piece can offer. So I just play what I hear from my soul. I've done all the other crap. Even film scores. Music has to be experienced not worshiped from myopic commentators.
