2017.10.02 Reggie Sylvester on Bern Nix - 3 of 3

"You know, if we understand one question rightly, all questions are answered. But we don't know how to ask the right question."  Jiddu Krishnamurti

"My style? You can call it the art of fighting without fighting."  
Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon. Dir. Robert Clouse. Golden Harvest, 1973.

So what is the method when there is no method?  Drummer Reggie Sylvester found an answer to that question as a member of guitarist Bern Nix's last group.  In this episode of Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus from 2017 (shortly after the death of Nix), Reggie shares the music and the singular way of discovery that Bern Nix developed.
