I think most great musicians are. Much like it´s their language, if that makes any sense? I think they listen to music a bit different than most of us. Maybe one small transition means a whole lot to them, that we don´t even notice, but it builds on whatever they played for the last three minutes. I see this also in dance, as a friend of mine is heavily invested in this art. In time, I understand more and more of his view, but it is not native in me, like I can see it in him. It is very much like a natural reaction to whatever someone else does on stage. So I think it is fair to say that proper musicians, or rather all true artists have their own language. Or maybe more languages per art, for all I know. But this is one of the pieces that cements that thought in me. That some people have other eyes or ears then me. Somehow, this all plays out to my benefit, so I will simply lay back and enjoy!
