to answer that door,
or I'll lock you up.
Oh!
Junior!
Junior, where you going?
Outside.
No, you're not.
You're slaying here.
Thank you.
Brion was saying
together in Jajouka.
I'm gonna find that video I have
of Burroughs and you and I
in the tent.
Yeah, really,
in the mountains of Morocco.
We don't have any of the music
from Jajouka
to go on the soundtrack, do you?
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
How did you guys get together
at that point in time?
Well, Bob Palmer
had a good deal to do with it
because he'd played and been
Ornette, you know,
one thing I've always
wondered about-
You remember when I came back
when Gysin took me up to Jajouka
and I played with the musicians
up there
and I brought back those tapes,
and you listened to them.
And to my incredible surprise,
you said,
"Let's go, let's get
an organization together
and go up and make a record
with those guys. "
And we went and did it.
What did you hear in those tapes
that made you want to do that?
Well, I was telling
someone the other day
when I was in New Orleans,
I was playing
in a Sanctified Church,
and you know, in most churches
the pianos are so out of tune
that they be playing in the key
of Z... K... P... T...
I mean, H.
And I took my horn
in this Sanctified Church,
and I played the same way
I'm playing now.
I heard that same quality,
only on a much more high level
than religion.
It was more on a creative level.
Because most religion
is on an emotional level.
This was on a creative level,
and that's what really turned me on.
I said I got to go and play
with these guys,
because I could see
that for once
I would be able to play whatever
passed through my heart and head
without ever having to worry
about was it right or wrong.
We had something like
15 double reed horns
and 15 drummers,
and Ornette and me and hundreds
of hill tribesmen
all camped out in tents
around this little village
on the top of this mountain,
and the place was just shaking.
Bob was playing,
and I keep telling him,
and I have this tape,
where he started playing,
and all of a sudden
through some instinct
that was going on
passed through his horn.
It was like intense flame.
I mean, his clarinet sounded
like it was just some kind
of bolt of fire.
I mean, it was
the most incredible sound
I ever heard any musician play,
including myself.
That would be
a pertinent question.
An impertinent question.
An impertinent question
works even better sometimes.
Can you think
of an impertinent question?
