All of this was to be sewn into the fabric of the band. Musicians entering would hopefully use the band as a vehicle for personal change and growth and Crimson-like be different players with different outlooks when they left. Part of the reason I was edging rapidly toward jazz was because there had to be better ways of creating music other than by staring at your feet in a room full of expensively unprepared musicians—one of my least favourite pastimes. Jazz players not only don’t like to rehearse but also are unable to afford anything more salubrious than an afternoon or two in somebody’s front room. If it’s Django’s front room in a large tumbledown and unheated house in Beckenham Kent where we ran through the early Earthworks material it’ll have ice on the inside of the windows as well as the outside. Generally the musicians come together to rehearse music already specifically designed for the project in hand. The basic harmony and melodies pre-exist in written form by the time the kettle goes on so the band is only adding suggestions and making sure fingers go in the right places.

in Savage to perform several songs that have been in the works for years as well as a couple new ones. Improvisation is at the heart of jazz music and that said all the intricate parts of the each piece must come together just right to make it work as a band.
