  1. Grisman: "The only difference between improvisation and composition is a time factor." Garcia: "Yeah. [Improvisation] is fast composition. That's a good point that should be understood."

  2. 6/27/91 Brigid Meier interview: "Improvisation is really composition. That’s one way of thinking about it. Improvisation is not – there’s no such thing as improvisation, there’s only composition and it’s whether you do it quickly enough. It amounts to composing on the spot but you have a framework of some sort".
