about

Rational Discourse is very much Nick Maclean, yet clearly lives in the zone where Maclean’s sense of heterodoxy and angularity converges with the spirit of Thelonious Monk. As if to confirm this, there is a subtle, winking reference to Monk’s Well You Needn’t midway through the solo. The subject matter of this piece draws inspiration from the activism of blues musician Daryl Davis, whose voice is heard book-ending this track. His conversations and friendship with KKK members have inspired hundreds of Klan members to leave that racist organization. Monk's eccentric influences are well paired here with Davis' unorthodox approach to advocacy and create an effective depiction of the erratic directions those first conversations between an intelligent black man and hood-wearing Klansmen must have gone.
