When I improvise,
at least with another horn player,
i lean toward folk melodies,
and human cries...
this is Albert Ayler...
Ornette's there too,
pushing me to play the melody
with every other melody.
Trombone?
Roswell Rudd,
Miff Mole,
Dave Dove...
A playfulness,
and a purpose.
To me it's obvious -
the clown
and
the prince
with one
mouth piece
one bell
and
one slide
and
the idea
that less
is always more
as long
as it ain't nothin'

as a player,
I know
I don't
live up
to ANY of my ideals

but I hold them
and I keep goin'
all Ben Franklin like...
