....."blow him off the bandstand"?! I seriously doubt if Dexter and Sonny share your views, not to mention Miles, who complained about the length of Trane's solos, but sure as hell NOT his technique or intonation problems. Though I'm by no means advocating this, I would also point out that Bird played stoned out of his brains many times. Sometimes this was an obvious detriment, other times the playing was somehow still technically masterful, extremely soulful, and innovative to the bone.Robert, I'm not claiming this was Trane's "best". "Ragtime", "Tango", "Greeting Prelude" may not be Stravinsky's "best" either, but its still GREAT MUSIC, and most composers would give their ass to be able to write as well. If I went to the Vanguard tonight and heard somebody playing as well as Trane did on those sessions I'd be talking about the fantastic player I just heard.
