Has his 'strangling a dying animal' (quote from some review I read years ago) singing-along-to-his-playing subsided any in recent years? I have quite a few of his lps/cds, I love almost anything he's done with Jack DeJohnette behind the drum kit, but his 'singing' on a few of those releases is SO prevalent I can't even listen to them. More than once a companion has asked me "what the HELL are you listening to?!?" when, forgetting a given KJ lp/cd was one of "the ones", I absentmindedly put it on.
Funny to hear about the camera-shy part - never knew that about him.
