So I really must explain....
Right after we finished this section, Akili explained to us that at some point toward the end of this improv, as he sat on the ground, he remembered a story about Sonny Rollins......during one performance Sonny fell off stage and broke his ankle but continued to finish the concert lying on his back. Thus Akili was inspired to see what it felt like to play lying on the floor. It is endlessly fasicnating what goes on inside people's minds while improvising. Sometimes my mind is so empty but so so often images, memories, associations pop up that inspire my choices. Well, i thought the story was worth repeating and I do love the ending.
