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

Victor Wooten is the Carlos Castaneda of 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.

The most fun is to play clubs, because you actually get to see the people.

Yes, alas, I've been on some recording sessions where the music wasn't good. Not so many, really, considering how many I've done. It's a very awkward situation because to do a recording well you focus on the positive of what will make the piece better.

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.

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.
