I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate. ↗
When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music. ↗
There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them. ↗
There are few words in the music business or in art that I'll say people or some writers are overgenerous with words like 'legend' or 'genius', 'he's a pioneer' and all of that. ↗
The problem that I have is with the music business. For some reason it seems almost impossible to get anything, any music, released which includes improvisation or soloing. ↗
