Hey folks, sorry I didn’t get to mention this on the board sooner, but part 3 of the spiel is up now at http://www.proj-ex.net/article1052.html. Glad you’ve all been digging the first two parts!

Thanks CJ, I really enjoyed reading all parts of that interview and I’m sure looking forward to the rest. I’ve always been into Coltrane, and started listening to Sun Ra a few years back after reading a Sonic Youth interview. If I recall correctly, SY got into him thru Watt (who I basically knew nothing about back then), so it’s kinda weird/cool how these things work.

Thanks again,CJ!
I loved the jazz talk with Watt.Lots of cool stuff mentioned like Coltrane and Sun Ra.
I was hoping you would talk about Mingus,maybe another time you will;he`s my fav jazz musician next to Miles,Coltrane,Monk,etc.I was listening to his album "The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady"last night,amazing album!he took Ellington`s influence to the modern jazz age.
You were born at Coltrane`s death?I was born 5 years after the death of Wes Montgomery.
The story of the Minitemen playing Coltrane`s Ascension at their gigs was cool,that piece was the first free jazz I heard,I was listening to jazz for months before that but heard no free jazz,that piece was pretty astounding.
thanks again!
