      @@bassplayerxxd4873 really. He sounds completely sincere, he listens, he asks informed questions. He understands music and making music. He is articulate. Doesnt talk over or interrupt except to "mmm" "amen". Churchy call and answer. Great interview and "freaking experience.:" This with Shorter, who froze out Becker and Fagan of Steely Dan when they hired him to play a solo in " Asia" wanted to do the hang with them on the couch and blah blah. He said, "They wanted to sit around and talk about how it was to play with Miles. I'm from Philly, in my neighborhood we kinda looked down on people who just talked too much and couldn't just do it, walk the walk". I'm paraphrasing, but it's nice to see him wide open, open up and , well, talk about playing with Miles. :)

      Jonathan Gasser jazz will fundamentally never die. It's impossible. It may become more or less popular during certain times, but it is progress and feeling and human experience expressed without words, which will always at least have the potential to be refreshing to those who listen.

      @jonathan.gasser 7 років тому +1

      Well I mean that it certainly isn't the same as back then... you do have a couple of clubs left in the big cities, but it's just... different. People talk during the performances, it's taken on the reputation of being elevator music, stuff for snobs. Kinda going through the same path as classical music did. So yes, people will still listen to it forever, but its golden age is over. This is why it's nice to see these old blokes still at it.
      By the way I play jazz, and listen to it everyday, please don't assume things about other people.

    You can tell Batiste is still green when it comes to interviewing, but his knowledge of music, especially jazz, more than makes up for that deficit.

    • @Nepenthean58
      @Nepenthean58 6 років тому +2

      I disagree. Batiste asked the best questions and engaged this particular artist in a most insightful and respectful way. nothing green about that. A "professional" interviewer would likely not have the wherewithal or concept to relate to Wayne or his music, but would likely ask the same old tired hackneyed questions. This was excellent.

    - What is life? "What" is life. We are doing "what" everyday.
    - Our ego should serve us instead of serving it.
    - What was an interruption is now an opportunity.

    It's wonderful to hear musicians discuss their craft or any professional but especially a cat like Wayne who has not simply evolved but remained true to himself. When did he become so deeply self aware? He is correct in that you must know the building blocks of music before you're able to express yourself musically. It's like learning to speak. Thank you for sharing.
