That video is hilarious.

I love his playing on 'Hejira' by Joni but anything beyond that is a bit Jamie Sett (seriously).

ah that is true because the bass is meant to be invisible you're not meant to hear it it's the glue that keeps the song together wow her voice is amazing lol thanks

Are you really meant to 'get' music?

[Campestral]

aye it's meant to make you feel all the best music you can't describe because it just touches a place in your psyche and makes you feel it's all tangible it's a natural desire for animals to want to touch and great music touches us

[pANDAS Radio]

I reckon many, many musicians have touched you. Now tell me, on the doll, where did they touch you?

I think in the context of the gig the entire room is shaking from Pastorius's PA and everyone's a bit stoned.

I don't really get jazz but this stuff I totally get - even though it's coming from the same flashy bastard place...
