Too many young players want to sound like Miles,Dizzy or Coltrane.
A few years ago when 'The Wise One' was posting those Master Classes held at New-York University,the great JIMMY HEATH amplified the point in a succinct manner.
Mr.CT remaks meant that the three should be used as an AMALGAM/COMBINATION in one's playing.
As you know,Miles loved playing short notes while John Coltrane loved playing long notes.
One day,Miles was bitchin' to JC and asked him why the long notes
JC replied,man that's how long it takes me to get it out (express himself).
