But you have to try and transcend that. I'm not necessarily critical of that other thing. I may just prefer this particular thing. As long as it's done artistically, that's my only criterion. You have to perceive the intention of the music.
Music performs many different functions.
The relevance of any given musical situation means taking the creative flows of the individual musicians and putting them together in a way that makes sense. One thing I learned from Miles is that when a piece is finished it is only beginning. Every night we would add another chapter. Songs kept evolving to incredible places. These are the kind of places I'm looking for.
