When I Found The Music Of Monk

The More Original Something Is, The More Of A Threat It Seems Until The People Catch Up With It. That Happened With Thelonious Monk. It Happened With Anybody Who Is Really Original.

The Soprano Has All Those Other Instruments In It. It's Got The Soprano Song Voice, Flute, Violin, Clarinet, And Tenor Elements And Can Even Approach The Baritone In Intensity.

To Me, There Is Spirit In A Reed. It's A Living Thing, A Weed, Really, And It Does Contain Spirit Of A Sort. It's Really An Ancient Vibration.

You Must Have The Music To Justify An Instrument's Extensive Use.

It Starts With A Single Sound. If There's Something In That Sound, Then It's Worth Continuing.
