All About Jazz
My style is something of a hybrid of jazz funk blues and gospel. For me the ideas concept and approach to playing are strictly unique in the sense that I intentionally did not put on records to cop solos from them to learn how to imitate. I always said to myself that “This style has already been created so why should I imitate this?”I forced myself to learn how to express and play jazz music differently and although some might consider my style of playing inferior to the jazz tradition they will have to admit that it is executed well and that it is a style that is unique only to Quintin Gerard W. !
