Very occasional quote of the day: Blackwell and Ornette

“When we were awake, we were always playing. If we were not playing, Ornette would be sitting down writing a tune, or we'd be discussing music, or listening to music—different tunes. But that was it. As far as practicing by myself, maybe I'd practice on the pad while he was writing. But most of the time we were practicing together.”
