country distant historical inwardly music present time traveling
We are journeying externally from country to country. We are traveling in historical time, from the present to the distant past. We are traveling inwardly as well, through the music of meditation.
bored evaluate experience inner maybe might music
It's not music you can evaluate in traditional ways. If you look around at a concert, you might see what look like bored people, or maybe they're drifting, but they're just having another kind of experience, an inner thing.
funny lesser musician people
It's funny to find there are still people around who think if a musician has schooling, it automatically makes him a lesser jazz player. But you don't learn jazz in school.

You have to go out and learn jazz by playing.
experience inner played
Yes, I played inside the Taj Mahal, but the experience was also a quiet, inner experience.

We were the first small American jazz group since Sidney Bechet in 1927 to play for the public in Moscow and Leningrad.

The enthusiasm, the adulation for us as jazz artists, in Kiev and Odessa was really heartwarming.

I don't like any category; categories are not my favorite subject. They're too confining.

Even back when I played 'straight-ahead,' I mixed it up. I played some free-form, classical adaptations, solo flute stuff. It was New Age in its own way.
bamboo became came chant five flute found gentle music record recovery solo surgery toward weeks
After I came out of surgery - I was in the hospital for five weeks - I found that I gravitated toward very gentle sounds: chant music, solo bamboo flute sounds, a laid-back record of my own called 'Inside.' And the music became a very real part of my recovery process.
