"I visited New York in '63, intending to move there,
but I noticed that what I valued about jazz was being discarded. I ran
into `out-to-lunch' free jazz, and the notion that groove was old-fashioned. All
around the United States, I could see jazz becoming linear, a horn-player's world. It made me
realize that we were not jazz musicians; we were territory musicians in love with all
forms of African-American music. All of the musicians I loved were territory musicians,
deeply into blues and gospel as well as jazz. " - Joe Sample |
