„This album was recorded in one afternoon and everything was a single take. We were ready! It seems that we’ve been rehearsing for this record for the last thirty years. Be ready! To be ready is the mark of a true Jazz Musician – ready for anything and to simply not-think, react! If someone hurls a baseball at your head, are you going to sit there and consider your options or are you just going to automatically duck? Well, that baseball being hurled at your head is the kind of jazz I like to play.
My teacher, the great Harry Whitaker, was all about not-being- prepared and yet, of course, being ready – like a master! What does this mean? Well, the bandstand and the tunes are sacred stomping grounds – free for the dragons to fly about as they please. If you’re not a dragon, well, then you’re simply being pummeled with baseballs to the head, and it hurts! Dragons live free in the environment, joyful and child-like while the dunderheads get smacked around and don’t even realize it most of the time. So, I’ve been smacked around for years.” – Spike Wilner
