Music is a language, you see, a universal language.
Sun Ra
To some degree, yeah, because I have to play a certain number of originals that might be
considered avant-garde material. I realize though, that only a few people in the audience actuallyknow what that music is, or understand it.
Archie Shepp
"With certain groups, like Albert Ayler, Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, and now my own group,there is a level of playing which we try to reach which is the same thing that people do when
they do transcendental meditation and yoga.They talk about "out of the body" experiences. That's what this music is. It's chanting; it's
meditation; it's yoga.It's all these things. In order to play, something transcends.
Something happens with the physical, the spiritual and the mental state in which they combine,and their energy is turned free.
It's a cleansing experience which in a religion they would say, "It's of another world." The stateI'm talking about even transcends emotions. It's a feeling of being able to communicate with all
living things."
