John Papa Gros (client): You can play a song the same way every night. The composer wrote the songs, wrote the notes and the goal is to recreate it every night as it was originally written. This comes from the classical music tradition. Our approach comes from the New Orleans jazz tradition, where it is important to make sure the music is alive and reflects how we're feeling that day. If I'm excited one day and the songs are a little fast, well the songs are a little fast. If I'm struggling, have had a hard day and things come out a little tired, well they come out a little tired. It's okay if it's different each night.
