Natalia Mann

I love jazz because it makes me feel good. I love all kinds of jazz, and all kinds of music for that matter. I think of music as a source, like water, which flows into all kinds of rivers and streams. For me, the essence of jazz is improvisation, and I learned how to improvise in a dream. In the dream, instead of playing harp, I was using a piece of paper, styrofoam and a broken piano. The message: Music can be expressed with anything. Alongside that, I like culture, spirit, experimentation and beauty--go exploring with love and an open mind.
