AS NEA JAZZ MASTER BOBBY HUTCHERSON OBSERVES THE CHANGES IN THE MUSIC WORLD TODAY, HE REFLECTS ON PAST LESSONS LEARNED...

Eric Dolphy said to me a long time ago, he says "Music is like the wind. You don't know where it came from and you don't know where it went. But once you hit that note, it's over with." So don't put on some earphones and start trying to analyze everything that you play cause it's over with. It's gone.

MUSIC:up and fades
