's Giant Steps is the epitome of Musical perfection. Just though I'd share that with you all.

It IS perfection. Eighth notes at 220 bpm, not missing a single one, while having the inflection and tone of a Jazz singer. Amazing.

Well, imo, that song is about as close to perfection as one can get.

And I don't think perfection stifles creativity, I think it stimulates it. If one is striving to match or surpass perfection, wouldn't they work harder to achieve such a plateau?

Yup.... The best music is that which you have yet to discover.

But I still love John Coltrane nonetheless.

That was sexy. Did anyone watch the video of a Japanese robot trying to pull off the same song?
