"is considered a response to critics who charge that free jazz musicians cannot play bebop,"

The motherfucker was homeless for 20 years and has an album called "REPENT." I don't think he gives one loose fuck what any critic thinks.

Removal of interview link[edit]

Does the interview with Howard Mandel from the Wire have to be removed? It looks like the editor who removed it, MER-C, has accused the user who added the link, BartholomewBud of spamming by adding too many links to the Wire. And it looks like BartholomewBud has indeed added a lot of links to Wire interviews, maybe too many. Having said that, the Wire is pretty much the main magazine covering a lot of this music, so a certain degree of that is inevitable in a well-referenced article. In other words, I don't think it's a good idea to revert every single one of those edits. Could we split the difference, and keep at least some of those links?
