Huh? Did you just say something?
It is a challenge to stay focused on some of these long Trane solos, but I think that ends up being a testament to his high level of stamina. He's playing and creating all that time, all we have to do is pay attention.
A shorter attention span is a casualty of our current culture, so look at these Trane solos as a necessary trip to the "mental gym". I'm enjoying the workout, I needed this. I guess I've neglected him a bit lately- what a MF he was/is!!!!
I remember in college someone bought one of those long Andrew White transcriptions (like Chasin' The Trane) and we (the "jazz guys") would lay it on the floor, open it up and it would extend through like three rooms of the house. We would put on the record and sort of huddle over it and scoot along accordingly, for the duration.
Those were the days for sure.
