I got fiddy dolla right-cheer says "you SO wrong"...
That is, so long as I can play the note whenever I wanna...
Now, to play the right note, at the right time, with the right dynamic...
.... I'll need another 40 years playing before taking THAT bet...
As HAT has said before, the players of most lasting memory transcend the instrument in front of them... they are great musicians, and the instrument is a means of expression- a TOOL, if you will.
I've listened to players of ferocious technique and brilliant intonation slaughter lovely pieces of music in virtuosic displays... I've heard rank amateurs connect to a piece and prepare well enough to express the sublime in 4/4 time...it's really about having something to express to an audience with sufficient tools to bring the idea across that makes for great playing...
Like Robert Marcellus, Buddy Wright, Lionel Hampton and Ella -
