In fact its quite gratifying for me to see some of the people who really objected to this method of working now being quite so profligate in their use of it.

Diversity is its most consistent characteristic....The characteristics of freely improvised music are established only by the sonic-musical identity of the person or persons playing it.

I'm not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics.

I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.

I think the blues is fine for blues players, but free blues has never made much sense to me.

I wouldn't want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don't think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.

For me, Company is still the best way for me to work.
