Derek Horton (artist) Reviewing a performance by the white pianist Burton Greene in 1966 with the African-American saxophonists Pharoah Sanders and Marion Brown, Amiri Baraka used Greene to attack white 'free jazz' musicians in general for what he identified as weak attempts to emulate the vitality of creative black musicians. In Baraka's account Greene's sound is represented as a STUTTERING search for MATERIALITY (the percussive) set against Pharoah Sanders' and Marion Brown's flowing extensions of so-called SPIRITUAL[ITY] manifest musically through human BREATH. Stewart Home (artist) the dark red text reads ART IS SANCTIONED PORNOGRAPHY
