It was more exciting than the Ensemble Of Possibilities who to me was the most boring band of all in the festival. It doesn't mater whether you play fast or slow but make something happen. They are all my friends but it just didn't jell. There was too much holding back. From your not really listening to my band, you missed contributions from one of the greatest Trumpeters and Drummers in the world, and one band (whose name I will not mention) that you praised, got their whole musical concept from me. Whoever you are, please listen more carefully next time. by the way You miss a great William Parker performance and even if I didn't play in it i would still sy it was great. -Sabir Mateen Its a shame you didn’t fully listen to my band (your review tells me that you didn’t.
