Jazz Can Be So Serious,

The Juxtaposition Of Words - The Color, Feeling, And Sound Of The Words Together - Has As Much To Do With The Story As The Narrative Itself Does.

I Just Played At A Club In L.a. Called The Baked Potato. It Fits Like 90 People. It's Like Playing Somewhere In A Basement In, Like, Indiana Or Somewhere Where All Your Friends Show Up. It's Really Fun And There's A Very Different Energy To That Than To Play To 50,000 At A Tokyo Baseball Stadium.

Its Very Sort Of Spontaneous And Organic, Not A Preconceived Sort Of Jamming. Now We Record Everything, Cause Sometimes You'll Forget, You Know, 'what Was That Thing Again?' So We Record Everything.

Going Up North With The Redwoods And Driving Along The Coast, It's Got Everything, Man. It's Got The Desert, The Mountains, And The Ocean. It's Beautiful.

Flea And Anthony Are Into Funk, Like Old School Meters And Stuff Like That.
