In this conversation recorded by Molly Sheridan, Tyshawn Sorey tells Aakash Mittal about getting fired from Dave Douglas's band, "“So we’re there having lunch, and he says, ‘How do you think you sound in the band?’ And I was like, ‘I think I could do certain things better. I could play this rhythm, or I could make it more hip by doing this.’ He was like, ‘First of all, let me tell you something, I don’t care what you sound like. I care what the band sounds like.’” To read a transcript of their entire talk, please visit NewMusicBox: nmbx.newmusicu...

Bravo for Tyshawn always! And yes, I probably said something like that. Only thing is, I don't remember ever firing Tyshawn. I love Tyshawn! 😗 All best.

You can see Wesleyan campus signage peeking through in the background. We were so lucky to have Tyshawn in CT while we did.

Tyshawn Soreys "Pillars" and "The inner spectrum of variables" are both masterpieces👍

Thats' why the band is called the Dave Douglas band? Isn't it about promotion for Douglas? Call the band something else then. Jazz is never about the band but the leader of the band. It's a revolving door of musicians that come and go for the sake of the leader. It's rare that a jazz drummer is a top seller. It's mostly about the Sax. The bottom line is you have to make Douglas look good so he can make a living. Didn't Miles steal Tony Williams away from? I forget who but Tony was smokin at age 17 which made Miles look good.

Miles reportedly recruited Tony Williams from Charles Lloyd's band. I read one account of a later meeting between Charles and Miles. After Charles complained about what Miles had done, Miles, (in his hoarse way) reportedly replied, "When you're on top, that's what you do. "

Tyshawn is one of the very few drummers whose albums I would buy solely because he is playing on them. Vijay Iyer's trio is great because all three make an equal contribution, a matrix that was set up by Bill Evans and Paul Bley's trios in late fifties/early 60s. Williams played with Sam Rivers in Boston, and then moved to New York to join Jackie McLean's All Stars. Miles hardly 'stole' him from McLean, it would have been Hobson's Choice, as his quartet was probably the best-paying and most prestigious gig in the jazz world at the time. (Along with Coltrane's Quartet, of course,)
