Go-Go Marc, Cary On! An Indigenous Person Tells his Story

Phil wishes he was a musician (well, he is one, but he wishes he were a good one) but he's not frustrated by it. He's frustrated with a lot of other aspects of the so-called biz. Therefore, he's excited by independently released jazz.

I will continue to produce. It's not like I want to put my thing on other artists. As a producer, I want to bring the best out of them-what that person wants. At one point, I was going to produce Lizz Wright's record, but she didn't really have her direction fleshed out. I can't decide for the artist what direction they want to go in—that's more A and R. They got John Clayton, and that didn't work out. So finally, Brian Blade did it and brought out of her what she wanted. I've also done hip-hop tracks and movie stuff, HBO stuff.

AAJ: I'd just like to say for the record you're one of my favorite artists ever , that all your stuff clicks really deeply with me, and add that I think you're the greatest Rhodes player working today.

MC: The funny thing is, with people that like what I do, it's almost like I'm a part of them, or I touched a part of them, in a way. But I haven't touched a vast amount of people. There's hundreds, but not thousands or millions. They have the feeling like they discovered me, in a way, even though I've been around for a long time. It's like.. it's that personalized. Like that radio interview I referred to earlier. The cat assumed like I had this vast network of people who played my records! But it's still very gratifying and I feel a personal connection with the fact that they are interested in just what it is that I'm doin'.
