Many layers of thought that made it move way beyond a lot of interview styles I often hear, which are limited to certain realms: technique, style, who played with who, etc. I really liked the ending how Charlie connects the music back within terms of community, which is so central to so many cultures. The effect of capitalism on music in the U.S., in that sense, is really prevalent because the “community” ceases to participate in the music. In a way, Charlie and Mike’s dialogue brought back the traditional role of the west-African “griot” to U.S. music, where the musician tells a story and a history about the community while involving the community at the exact same time. Charlie, would you consider yourself a modern griot (putting humility aside here)? If so, in what sense?
