Who made you the decider in Chief of what is and what is not good jazz?1969 was a very good year for me and Eddie Harris; I partied from dusk till dawn on his music; I got used to that while you were in Europe, and I always brought "Cold Duck" win...

"Modern jazz" is the musical expression of complex emotion, and some emotions are even two complex for words, that why we have music without words, which a lot of lame people can not dig; that's the way it is."Round Midnight" is best without words...
