He’s totally on point with Zen. Good to hear truth from this ultimate master!

Gary is awesome!

Thanks for sharing, I found much to ponder. I wasn't really expecting this breadth tbh: Zen, ego death, semiotics and even some geometry at the end there. Gary was really good at articulating that metaphysical aspect of music making that oft feels overlooked, it's ability to really disrupt consciousness and enable one to momentarily peep behind the veil. I loved the part about learned taxonomies almost being reductive and hindering our ability to really see the world (the part about trees). Good stuff, thanks again for putting this together and sharing.

Well spoken. Thanks, really enjoyed this interview. What an inspiration.

[@ScottStentenFilms]

you should make another video and cut the part about trane searching, and then play the whole excerpt from about 8 min,,,The most incredible thing i have heard about improvisation maybe ever! Trane searching and hearing that in his playing,,,Thank you!

[@doublebasshq]

Good idea!

Can someone tell me the name of the recording where Gary had to play with an injured hand? I really want to check it out. Live in Paris?
