What a cool interview, so rich in insights that give us a peak at the magic that makes a performance musical. For example, the observation about making each voice in an arrangement melodic and the observation about how musicians who've played together for some time learn unspoken cues. The anecdote about the players in the Count Basie orchestra breathing at the same time made my jaw drop. Just listening to this I felt I was part of the music fraternity briefly, and it felt great. Very cool. I stumbled on this video, because my wife & daughter were talking about a fictional jazz club that was a musical mecca in a anime movie for which Hiromi did the sound track, and I told them such a thing existed here in the DFW area, because decades ago when I was in college, Lou Marini lead an orchestra that was popular with all the best jazz musicians in town. It was a blast from the past.
