As an improviser I'm now pretty comfortable with trios, so I'm thinking of working up to quartets. ↗

It seems to me the structure of the Quartets is too imposed. ↗

Part of me is probably more conservative than people realise. I like my old string quartets, I don't like music that's trippy for trippy's sake. ↗

We used to play the underground clubs like the UFO, and Middle Earth, and they were great because they would have on things like a poet, string quartets, and then a rock band! It was kinda cool! ↗

The Quartets have been a major part of my work. ↗
