und dann sowas. im november 1977, zurück in new york, ein traditionalistisches date für denon mit walter bishop, sam jones und joe chambers. jazz im anzug, aber warum auch nicht. das ist alles andere als schlechte musik.

und das mit dem anzug war ja schon ein statement, bevor die young lions kamen:

I think you have a generation of young black people who are totally incognizant of the struggle that went on to put them where they are. For example, I saw an interview with Wynton Marsalis in New Orleans with all his buddies and homies and he was saying, „Growing up for me was like apple pie.“ That is typical of young kids today. He is not a young kid, but that is typical of young men of his generation. Things were provided for them that people paid a lot of dues for in the Sixties to create. I’ve been watching some of the old films of Dr. Martin Luther King, especially for the tone of his speeches and the language, which I find more and more inspiring. I can go to it as a resource for my own soul, to answer things for myself. I think of the immensity and the enormity of that struggle and the depth of that struggle and what it did for young people today. I am amazed, especially by black people, of their ignorance of their own time, of their own recent time, their total insensitivity to the dues that were paid by the people to create the changes that we see today.
