Like I said, it's not being played in a traditional way, and not like funk, which came later and which I didn't want to do. The way the bass was played created space and possibilities that didn't exist before. I think that this was the largest part in us playing this new music, how the role of the bass was changed. PB: There also seems to be a common thread between your compositions on this album and on Infinite Search with some of what Joe and Wayne have done, a certain folk thing.
MV: I come from Czechoslovakia, so in Slavic countries they have this melodic touch. But this new album is happier than Infinite Search. MV: We have an incredible rapport. He's half Polish, so half of his background is Slavic, so he understands my music and my melodies incredibly well, aside from being one of the most incredible musicians on the planet.
MV: For me, he is the best drummer to play with because he is so responsive, and he can play lots of dynamics and he can play anywhere. He has a lot of experience, because he used to be a piano player, so he understands music more than most drummers.
He's been my favorite for a long time. MV: With Roy Haynes, of course, with Chick, but that was different, because Roy comes from the older type of jazz, while Jack is much more modern. Roy and I had an excellent rapport, and actually, when I played with Tony Williams, we had a very nice thing.
MV: Right now I'm looking for the right band members, a lot of European musicians because I live in Italy at the moment. We'll see what happens. I recently started to play full-time again in Europe, since May.
MV: Well, it was a good experience. I did a lot of work for the jazz department and got a lot of things done that weren't possible before, thanks to the fact that I was a classical musician, so I was more respected by the classical part of the school than the previous people. So I was able to get us offices, a big band room, all kinds of things. I taught for seven years, gave it my shot, and then I had to go back to playing. I'm not the kind of person who can come down during the day to the students' level and then in the evening go up like a yo-yo [playing with professional musicians] and then down again the next morning.
MV: Yes, and to tell you the truth, it was not that satisfactory, because in America, education has a lot to do with money, so the students don't have that much respect for the teachers and just come to the school to go through the school. I was surprised because this was not the way I grew up with my education. The students were not getting a lot out of it because the interest was not there.
MV: A syncope is a note or rhythm in the dictionary, so "syncopations" is more notes and rhythms, and universal is universal. So Universal Syncopations it's not jazz or classical or folk music, it's syncopations of some kind, a universal thing. So I thought it would be a good title.
