“When I started doing improvise music in Europe, in the beginning I thought the way that Europeans were interpreting the reconstruction of deconstruction of this thing that we call jazz - of course it's different than what Americans do, because Europeans have a different history, a different sensibility and so forth - the nature of the creative process itself it's the same; but what comes from that creative process is different, because you have a different history, you have a different society, different language.” WayDifferentCoursesLanguageProcessCreativeEuropeJazzCreative ProcessSensibilityReconstructionInterpretingDifferent LanguagesDeconstruction Author:Hamid Drake
“I grew up in the funk, rock and roll, blues and r&b tradition, and I came to this thing we call jazz later. And I came to improvise music from the standpoint of jazz; I was improvising, but within these other genres of music.” RocksGrewGrew UpTraditionJazzGenreRock And RollStandpointImprovisingFunkGenres Of Music Author:Hamid Drake
