“I am not the “jam session” type usually but i had a nice time playing!
people in the crowd were overheard saying to each other “i didn’t know he could play swing rhythms and actual jazz” and “it appears that he can hold his sticks with traditional grip fairly convincingly and he owns brushes” and of course “he seems to almost know how to count 32 bar forms” and “he’s a great wrestler”.
THANKS ISRAEL FOR BELIEVING THAT I HAVE A FAIR TO MIDLAND KNOWLEDGE OF THE JAZZ MUSIC THAT HAS NO BEARING ON MY ACTUAL LIFE EXPERIENCE BUT I DO AN OK JOB OF FAKING IT OUT OF A GENUINE LOVE FOR IT JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT PLAYS IT WHO WAS BORN AFTER 1955!!” Dave King, drummer.

“WHY DO YOU REJECT US ROCK AND ROLL PROMOTERS?? ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE POWER OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC THATS CAN BE BORING AND PRETENTIOUS?? WHY IN GOD’S NAME DO YOU SETTLE FOR THE MARS VOLTA WHEN YOU COULD BOOK THE GANG FONT? WE MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE THE CHUCK E CHEESE PUPPET HOUSE BAND. IF YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE PROGRESSIVE MUSIC THAN WHY NOT GO ALL THE WAY AND DO IT FOR REAL??”

Meredith Monk - Turtle Dreams
Drummer Dan Weiss talks about chillas.
- AAJ: There is a process in India called chilla, which is where the musician is left alone until he or she becomes one with the music. Have you ever had this experience?
- DW: I have done a number of chillas and the longest was five days. You don't leave your instrument unless you eat; go to the bathroom or sleep and you don't have contact with anybody. There's no communication at all—no computer, no phones, nothing. Just you and your instrument. I am hoping to do a 40-day chilla some day, hopefully.

“One Nation Under a Groove is a very loose concept album (as are most of Funkadelic’s works), essentially declaring the power of Funk (see P Funk mythology) to do two interconnected things: become an open-minded, happy, and goal-oriented person, and dance well.”
Wikipedia article for the Funkadelic album “One Nation Under a Groove.”
