Don Was on running Blue Note in NYT

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “I always considered the record company the enemy, to be honest with you. In my experience they were people who didn’t do what they said they were going to do. And now that I come in there, half of the things I see, I think, ‘Oh, that’s why it’s got to be done that way.’ Certain things that were incomprehensible and seemed evil make total sense. And then the other half is: ‘Maybe it doesn’t have to be this way. Maybe we can approach this from a fresh point of view.’ So maybe that’s what we should focus on.” —Don Was on becoming the President of Blue Note, to Nate Chinen in the N.Y. Times. (5/3a)
