Was having a chat a few days ago with that clever chap Alex Hawkins and he was describing the subject of correlation against causation - like when people think that Joe Harriott copied Ornette Coleman when in fact he didn't; Coleman didn't cause Harriott to go in the direction he did - it just so happens that they correlated musically.

In a similar way, some of my work has been compared to the amazing Walt Dickerson, which is overly kind. But I only heard his music four years ago, so I have a lot of catching up to do in terms of listening!

If you've not heard of Walt Dickerson up to now, here's a video I found this morning, with Wilbur Ware on bass and Andrew Cyrille on drums.
