What is Jazz??? The existence does not depend on thought. It is where you choose to place your silence, which converts sound into music. Sound and silence make music. Sometimes when my solo, I do not play anything. Just schedule blocks of silence. The notes are an afterthought. Silence is what makes music sexy. Silence is cool. -Nicholas Payton ------------- There is no science. There is only misery, striving and sacrifice to reach your personal goal. -Eli Mine |

Interesting quote from Payton, silence is definitely under-rated, especially in today's world. Miles Davis once, in his typically brusque way, summed up what he learned from listening to Karlheinz Stockhausen's Asiatic influenced 'Momente" form music, "..the note is either on or off", and the deeper implications of this non-western approach resonated in a lot of Miles' mid-70s recordings.
