"One of my favorite scenes in Fellini is the ecclesiastical fashion show in Roma, and the end of 8 Â½, when all the characters in the life of Guido, Marcello Mastroianni, get together and do this grand procession.

“I'm trying to be expressive on my instrument and conduct as I'm improvising. So I'm conducting with the melodies and the rhythms that I play. And so it's a very organic way. It's a lot like Charles Mingus played, cuing people in from what you play and how you play it rather than standing in front of a band, conducting and pointing.”
