I've always liked the effect of having somebody in there who hadn't the faintest idea what was going on. |
In fact it's 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. |
In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison. |
It's difficult to destroy a good concert. The quality of the recording doesn't matter if it's a really good concert. |
Nowadays, I really like playing in studios. |
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. |
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. |
The first Company concert was a single concert with a quartet who all knew each other, although they didn't play together regularly. |
The officer said to me they didn't find any drugs in the house. No one was drinking and there really wasn't anything they could do about it. |
This just infuriates me. I really can't believe that they didn't do anything this summer. |
Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music. |
