I don't research anything.

I have always been attracted to the cottage industry side of this business.

Undeniably, the audience for improvisation, good or bad, active or passive, sympathetic or hostile, has a power that no other audience has. It can affect the creation of that which is being witnessed. And perhaps because of that possibility the audience for improvisation has a degree of intimacy with the music that is not achieved in any other situation.

Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.

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

If you could only play a record once, imagine the intensity you’d have to bring into the listening.

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.
