Personally, I've found that the kind of thing that I like is going into somebody else's area and not playing their music but doing whatever I do in their area.

Personally, I've found one of the more stimulating ways of playing in recent times has been to kind of move outside the free improvised area and work with people who are probably improvisers but they have a particular way of working.

Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.

Charlie Appleyard can be anybody; but Ive used him sometimes in chat pieces, and these are all chat pieces about the history of Charlie Appleyard.

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.

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

Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.
