Notes
SEEDSR.F.D. Vineyard Haven, Mass. 02568
If the function of the artist is, as Palinurus said it is, to create masterpieces, then I would never have bothered to conceive this album, for masterpiece I don't intend it to be.
It may not even be "good", for I don't really know what "good" is. I know only what I do. For music is something that people do, like painting or plumbing or cobbling or buttling, not something that is done to people, like spanking or air pollution or electronic "music".
Since the beginning of my professional career in 1945 the idea of what is good has been stood on its head a few times. "Stride piano", for instance, was scorned as old-hat in 1945 but worshipped as a unique art and as "roots" in 1972. The same pianists who were, in their hipness, playing block chords in 1948 or quoting Myra Hess' transcription of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring on How High The Moon in 1953 were adding minor thirds and sevenths to every tonic triad ("funk") by 1960 and playing Jim Webb tunes in 1971. Al Part of the Dance of Death, and ideas of good or bad have really no part in it.
With age, as Braque has noted, art and life become one. This album is part of my life, music made with my friends.
