like steve smith said earlier, i respected the way claudia finished a job that could easily have been left hanging. how many people might have thrown in the towel and had a half-finished film sitting in their closet for years? zorn told her she had to make the movie her own, and she did. documentarians have to work with what they're given. i interviewed cecil taylor not long ago and he didn't give me a chance to ask a question for 90 minutes. he walked circles around the room, talking about richard nixon and duke ellington and frank gehry and ivie anderson. so the story i wrote <http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=1250> wasn't so much about cecil's history and views, but i think it gave a feeling of the man. zorn cut me off as well, after a couple of months of planning and discussing an interview. what did i do? i put myself in the story. <http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=1250>. sometimes there's little choice. and while i'm linking myself all over the place, my interview with claudia is here: <http://www.squidsear.com/cgi-bin/news/newsView.cgi?newsID=253> cheers kg np: paul dunmall octet - the great divide _________________________________________________________________ Is your PC infected?
