My job is to create memories

Me encontré esto escrito en el librito de un disco the "The Goat Rodeo Sessions". "If Emmanuel Ax and I were playing a Beethoven sonata, we would be doing the same thing. We would be saying: Ok, what's the purpose of this, what is this about, are we telling the story in the same way?. All different categories: bluegrass, jazz, classical music, R&B, whatever... they're just temporary placeholders. What we're trying to do in the end is to simply make music, and to have the music transcend whatever roots or categories it starts from. As a musician, my job is to create memories. That's the most basic thing that has to happen - and if that doesn't happen, then why do it?" -Allan Light
