“Jazz presumes that it would be nice if the four of us-simpatico dudes that we are-while playing this complicated song together, might somehow be free and autonomous as well.

Many have, and sometimes it works-but it doesn't feel like jazz when it does. The music simply drifts away into the stratosphere of formal dialectic, beyond our social concerns.” IfsFeelsWellsDoeTwoSometimesMightWould BeTogetherSongSocialFourNiceConcernJazzWork OutComplicatedBeing NiceFormalNever QuitWireAutonomousDialecticsSimpatico Author:Dave Hickey
