The Stanley Clarke Interview

A Wish for Anyone by Stanley Clarke ​I’ve played so long and I’ve played so many concerts that I’m very aware of how audiences respond. If you get a bunch of people who’ve been drinking and “this and that,” there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s great because they’re excited, but it’s kind of the mob. ​Sometimes you have these experiences where the audience has out-of-body experiences, as you do. It’s a hush when the song is over, and you can sense the acknowledgment. The applause is of a different nature. And if you go out in the audience, the people all say the same thing: “Wow! I’ve never experienced anything like that.” ​That means someone was in the present at a concert maybe for the first time. Many times you go to a concert, myself included, and you have an expectation. To that degree you’re not in the moment because of that expectation. ​If you go to a concert and someone does something that affects you, it’s like a new experience, because that’s new right at that moment. It has nothing to do with an event, the mob, the loving: it’s personal. ​All great speakers or orators who get on a stage: they’ll all tell you they are always taking to one person. You never try and talk to ten thousand people. If you get to that one person, you’re going to get to the ten thousand. ​The experience is personal, and I really loved that about the first band with Chick Corea, Return to Forever. I remember one night at this big theater in Tokyo, we decided we were going to sit in a circle. We played, and I had an out-of-body experience. ​That’s the foundation of the love that people had for Return to Forever. When we go to Japan, some of those original fans will still come to our concerts. They’ll always be with us, because they had that initial feeling. It has nothing to do with the seat you’re sitting in, it has nothing to do with how much money’s in your pocket, or even the music. It’s that everyone is doing something in concert together with the highest degree of synergy and beyond. There’s nothing like it. If I have a wish for anyone who plays music, young or old, it’s that they could do that every day.
