There's a wonderful interview w/ Lee Konitz in Richard Cook's Jazzwise mag this month, where Konitz goes on and on abt how much he liked marijuana as a creative stimulant/inspiration - he was stoned out of his gourd when he made that great duo rec w/ Warne Marsh in 55 - and urges the non-toking interviewer to get mashed asap 'cos it utterly improves the jazz listening experience!

Sounds like Gary Peacock was being the asshole, but it's still funny. I wonder what he and Matt Wilson are like as a rhythm section, since Matt is like the nicest guy ever. I really want to hear that duo album that he and Lee Konitz made.

Seems to me the professional thing to do would have been to sing the song acapella; Costello is a professional musician, right?
