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

Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much.

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.

I don't research anything.

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.

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