Talk:Jamie Muir

Untitled
'Muir' is a Scottish name. I believe Jamie Muir is too.--HisSpaceResearch 22:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Fur-Clad Maniac
I have seen, somewhere, sometime, a video of the "Larks Tongue" lineup of KC, with Muir looking like a caveman, wearing a large fur cape, jumping around, making a lot of good noise. This remains the image of him that comes to mind at the mention of his name. Perhaps a mention of the film/video would be nice to include, though I don't have the time to do it myself at the moment.

Left after injury?
I'd like to know where that came from, because he doesn't talk about it at all in an interview:

PT: After a second British tour in early 1973 you left the group. Why was this?

JM: The reasons why I left were to do with my interest in Buddhism. There were experiences over a period of about six months which caused me to decide to give up music, so one morning I felt I had to go to E.G. management and tell them. It was difficult of course, a whole year of tours had just been lined up. I cleared my house and went up to a Tibetan monastry in Scotland, became a monk and took the robes. I didn't feel too happy about letting people down, but this was something I had to do or else it would have been a source of deep regret for the rest of my life. I did a lot of meditating - which is more active than some people seem to think - and spent a lot of time in retreat.

Influences
There are sources out there which state that Muir and his approach to music was directly influenced by Rahsaan Roland Kirk above all else. I would say his sound resembles Kirk's Volunteered Slavery-era stuff, but I don't recall the sources going into that much detail.
