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.

Free improvisation, in addition to being a highly skilled musical craft, is open to use by almost anyone - beginners, children, and non-musicians.

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.

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

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

I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.

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