He’ll say (he’ll say)

My problem is the repetitiveness. Y’know… wine, women, and whiteline fever, over and over. Whereas, progressive is existential. You got these chromatic melodies, right? To use for, like, a springboard into all kinds of experiments. Even the backbeat is full of nuances. You know that there’s a central rhythmic idea going on, but you’re never quite sure when it’s going to pop up. Now, you-you put your, ah, your-your counterpoint on top of that, your passing tones, your arpeggios, your polyrhythms, your parallel scales, your focal harmonies… and it’s uncertain, right? It’s exploratory. It’s like life.
