He's kind of all over the map here. But it is a "talk," and those things tend to go that way I guess.

Unless I missed it, what was his point on the whole mouthpiece thing? He seemed to imply that a change in Coltrane's mouthpiece was somehow an important factor in the change of direction of his music. Although he offered excruciating detail on the intricacies of mouthpiece modification, he didn't really bring that full circle.

He does not seem to know Olé was recorded in the middle of sessions for the first Impulse record (Africa/Brass) and this was seven months after his previous Atlantic sessions.
