Re: Quantum Weirdness

John Butcher was a physicist before turning to saxophonism, but he claims that in his case there's no intentional relation between the two. However, one could easily read them in, given his microactive technique.

I heard or read somewhere of his being asked about the connection (that is, physics -> music) and though he claimed there was no direction relation as above, I believe he did say something to the effect of his approaching the horn with same discipline and regimented patience that he developed as a scientist. That Parker was a botanist makes lovely sense. I suspect it takes a very special kind of experimentalist brain to do what those gentleman do...
