Unless you have that nothing, you won't get any music. Most clubs are so full of their own something that there is no room for anything to be created. There is the box office, the kitchen, the bar, the office where receipts are reconciled and profits and losses calculated. And most of all, there is the fear when the house is empty . Who are there only to hear the music.
Jazz is a kid on a fire escape blowing to be free.
Once in a while, there is a place where that kid can bring his horn to try to make some music that might be worth listening to. It doesn't have anything to do with selling mixed drinks. It's all about time and having the time. It's all about freedom and having the freedom to find the music that is inside and blowing it out into the air. The Llahngaelhyn reunion was evidence that that time and that freedom is always within our reach.
