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.

I said, 'Do you think a three-letter word defines the complexity of my humanity?' I avoid the trap of easy definition.” (photo: Allen Ginsberg, courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate) #Ceciltaylor #freejazz #jazz #musicians #queer #poets #poetry #theworldofceciltaylor #pianist #poetsofinstagram  @lostandfound (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8w9nCCBHm5/?igshid=1lgd3poqhzjxv
