ZEBRADONK
WAVELENGTH
JULY 2
If Canada Dry is the Champagne of Ginger Ales, Zebradonk is the ______of_______ ?
I think Zebradonk is a fine band. I would have to say that it is like theKenny G of smooth jazz.... or maybe more Dave Koz. Pat Metheny. Or maybe the Jimi Hendrix of hip-hop/country
Statistically, how many zebras are donked in the wild?
There is a Zebradonk on a farm just north of Mt. Forest, Ontario. I'm not sure what way it goes, meaning what it likes to do in its spare time. Fact: The name Zebradonk came from the actual zebra/donkey cross, called a Zebradonk. This story was first told to me by the famous Chlˆe Cork. Shecame up with our name.
If there was a boxing match between Albert Ayler and Marshall Allen, who would win and who would referee?
I don't watch much boxing. I imagine that if two jazz musicians were to box....well, I don't think these guys would box. Jazz musicians are more the wrestling type. Sometimes Bobbi and I wrestle. While we were in Banff we would wrestle. We would see who could throw who into the narrow space between the bed and the wall. I usually won. We called this game "crevasse".So I think I would be Marshall Allen and Bobboi would be Albert Ayler. Of course, Ritchie would be the referee
There seems to be a schism in the world of free music between playing joyously and performing serious art. How would you, as artists, address this?
I am seriously an artist. I feel that life can be a serious experience. Lifeis not always just fun.... but for me, when I play music I want to have fun. I want to celebrate life.... most of the time this is what happens. I don't like to take myself too seriously. I'm not the best sax player in the world and I'm not trying to be. Maybe I want to be the worst sax player. Music wouldbe different to me if it were a sport/contest where one person could possibly be better than the next, but I don't see it that way. I like to listen to all kinds of music, except the boring stuff. .
