What I find so fascinating about this book is that even though it is about my work, it touches on so many tangents of issues related to modern jazz — the modern art world — the metaphysics of jazz language — the sociology of all this — the revivification of jazz avant- garde language that started happening in the Lower East Side before I moved to NYC, etc. etc. etc. etc. This book goes way beyond me. That I can be a conduit for this makes me proud.
That Cliord Allen is a great writer who can bring the nexus of all this together makes me feel fortunate.
