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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
