seriously?

trane doesnt even play anything on giant steps that isnt some rehashed 1235 inversions...impressive from a technical standpoint? yes. musically? who really cares unless you are into jazz merit badges...if tommy F. cant hang, i dont really care other than as some NYC type macho BS.

if that what gets you off that fine, but id rather hear somebody bring a non musician to tears with one note. though ive heard lovano play 26-2 and pretty much school trane on his own exercise, just saying...

Playing Coltrane changes in neither a necessity nor a measure of being a jazz artist. Plenty of greats never played anything with those changes. As a matter of fact, Coltrane recorded relatively little of them (aside from being used as subs). Have you ever heard him play Giant Steps live?
