Scott Henderson Discussion

Hi Scott! First, let me just extend a sincere "thank you" for what you do and have done throughout your career. Your music has inspired me tremendously (and continues to do so every time I listen), and the work you've contributed truly makes the world a far more beautiful and enjoyable place. So thanks man!

Ok, so my question might seem strange, but here it is nonetheless: have you ever had any music come to you in a dream that you actually used in a song? I'm assuming all of us musicians dream about music a lot, but I was just wondering if you've ever actually turned any dream-music ideas into real songs on real records. I have heard of other artists having these experiences and I was curious as to whether you were among them.

Thanks!

Cameron

It's happened to me a few times, but only when I'm in writing mode and doing it every day. Chick Corea told me he dreamed of an intro to one of his tunes - it was a fast two octave diminished run. A dream for him, a nightmare for me to have to learn.
