Nice interview with improvising multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee ["Probably the best saxophone/cornet instrumentalist in the history of jazz." ~ Cadence Magazine]:
If someone was to say to me, "Well, I don't understand this." I say, "Do you understand a sunset? Or a flower, when you see a beautiful flower? Are you going to tell me that you understand that?" If so, then you're full of shit. Understand what, what's there to understand? Either you get it, or you don't. It'll touch you or it won't.
