There’s a quote from Jerry Garcia that’s stuck with me over the years – when talking about his music, he said something along the lines of, “I didn’t want to be the best at something, I wanted to be the only person doing it.” I agree with that sentiment – music moves forward through the efforts of those who innovate. But music is also a medium of communication – in the end, it’s something that should bring people together. Today there are many musicians who are certainly the only ones doing what they’re doing, but oftentimes work like that can end up being so esoteric that hardly anyone “gets it” – or enjoys it. True success in music requires unifying innovation and connection, to create music that’s not only moving, but moving forward.
(in response to the question “What are the qualities of a successful musician?”)
