The lineage: you are required to know everything that has come before you but you are also required, when in the act of creation, to let that all go and simply be present in the moment. That is the way Milford Graves does it (and has done it since he played drums with our avatar Albert Ayler in the Sixties) and that is the way drummer William Hooker does it. William and I put Milford (can I just call him “Milford”?) in Deep Focus this Monday from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM and wkcr.org.
