Invisible Jukebox with Greg Tate, full transcript
I was very sorry to learn of Greg Tate passing last month. This was my first interview with Greg, I interviewed him again for my book Common Tones in December 2020. The WIRE has kindly hosted a full transcript of the Invisible Jukebox piece which they commissioned in 2004. Our conversation lasted close to three hours--the discussion of one Sun Ra track lasted almost 30 minutes--and the transcript is more than double the length of the printed article. Amazing to see Greg’s mind work in real time as I play him these tracks. Please find it here.
