“Well, music is emotional, once you transcend the equipment,” he said. “I like sitting at the piano. I like the idea that there are things coming in through the window and through you and then down to the piano and out the window on the other side. If you want to catch songs you gotta start thinking like one, and making yourself an interesting place for them to land like birds or insects. Once you get two or three tunes together, wherever three or more are gathered, then others come. It’s like a line for a hot dog place, you know? And when there’s four people lined up on the sidewalk, some people will stop and get in line just ’cause there’s a line.”
~ Tom Waits

"I've been influenced a lot by Coltrane, but I never copped his licks or sat down, listened to records and tried to play his stuff. I've been impressed with that thing of flow, and of making statements that to my ears sound like paragraphs - he'll play along stylistically with a certain kind of tone...for X amount of time - then he'll change the subject, then play along with this other personality coming out, which really impresses me. It's like...his attitude's changing, but it changes in a holistic way, where the tone of his axe and everything changes.” - Jerry Garcia

Remembering John Coltrane who would have turned 90 today.

I affectionately call this one:
Donald Edward Pommerville, Jr.
-- kind of a tour-de-force, whiskey-in-a-teacup, gypsy-raucous-jungle-jazz fusion type piece with subtle elements of wtf...
Hence, the sophisticated title.
