oh how I love intelligent conversation 
that’s Bird Miles Davis Tommy Potter Duke Jordan and Max Roach on drums 
that’s like Thomas Jefferson Abe Lincoln Roosevelt and 
uh 
two other ones having a conversation only these guys can implement in real time 
“We collectively create a thing of beauty” 
Max Roach said that 
listening folks 
he’s talking about listening 
listening 
listening
listening
listening listening is like helping somebody shit into a bag
