Sorry about this in advance, but I don't often do this, so cut me a

I don't know who here follows the musical blogs, but this satirical
site is quite funny. This post is for the jazz fans with a sense of
humour only...

Man, I can't believe I had never found this guy before! And our own
Darcy Argue is even given a Jiminy Glick-like interview here more
than a year ago:

You are quite the sport, Darcy!
Although I was a little perturbed to find this quote on this page:
http://mcjeebie.blogspot.com/2007/04/unknown-masters-ariodney-
hussington.html
McJeebie: Why is the piece called Jazz Improvisations if there's no
improvisation?
Hussington: There is improvisation, but it happens in the
composer's head, and, actually, it already happened. It was in the
past.
I cringed just a little bit as I read that, because I have always
lived by the adage that ALL creativity starts with improvisation (or
play, same thing.) So here I am being parodied mercilessly, and I
wasn't even in on the joke all these years...
Ha, ha, ha... hmmm...
