Victor Wooten is the Carlos Castaneda of music

From my time in 'King Crimson,' I'd describe a Progressive band as one that keeps trying to break musical barriers, and keeps trying to do new music.

Through the years I've found that I prefer live playing to recording. I still do lots of recording - but I treasure the live shows.

Like most musicians, Im good at becoming immersed in the music that I am currently working on. We seldom lift up our heads to contemplate even the music we will be doing in the future, let alone what weve done in the past.

Like many musicians, I don't look back much... only concentrate on what music I'm doing, and occasionally look ahead.

John was great to work with, and a lot of fun. I wish Id had the chance to make more music with him, of course, and to get to know him better.

We all have different musical instincts, and I think they're precious and should be respected.
