I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.
From Derek Bailey
I have always been attracted to the cottage industry side of this business.
Nowadays, I really like playing in studios.
Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.
In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison.
For me, playing is about playing with other people.
Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.
I like duos with percussionists. I like the songs that percussionists sing.
Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.
I think the blues is fine for blues players, but free blues has never made much sense to me.
