"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

I'd have to say yes. I LOVE Monk, but a lot of what I love about him is the tunes he wrote and the arrangements he made. He was a very good pianist too, but that's not his main strength IMO.

"I remember I used to work with the rest of the band in my mother’s beauty shop. It had big windows, you know, and you couldn’t help hearing the music when you walked by. So everybody knew I had a band and sometimes they would stand outside and listen to me. Some of the dudes in the neighborhood were pretty rough, and they’d be out there listening, too. They would holler requests through the window. And, man, if you didn’t play those requests you might not want to come outside for a while. But those were good days."
