That song called "Insomnomaniac" remind me of a song written long time ago which the great brazilian composer Hermeto Pascoal arranged in the same kind of feel (look for "Asa Branca").

@Bosphorus92 bahahah i take it back its kind of funny to watch a that guy fidget with his hands. His palms were perhaps little moist , and he must of ran this question through his mind a million times... " What is the worst that could happen?"

In general, people keep much of their attention on their own challenges and problems, he should of just calmed the fuck down.. bahaha

this interview is so great. the greatest critic of all time converses with the most

eloquent totally central jazz figure and it touches upon so much in such a greatly-informed way. Makes me feel good.
