Tales Out Of Time

Patience and reserve: two manifestations of self-control. Solitary figures await their joint moment, let it come, don’t rush it, don’t drown it in small-talk. Then when the time is right grab a hold and don’t let it get away. Discipline has been your watchword. You’ve waited, and when you eat that 2000-year-old egg, it will be utterly scrumptious. For Zerang, Kessler, Brötzmann and McPhee, now’s the time: peel back the rind, pop the cork, eat the egg.
