    This is so mind blowing to me, that's my late Uncle, Bill Elton on trombone on the left of the trio of trombone players at 7:44. I was 2 years old at the time. So proud!

    +Michele Njoes So musicians who play electronic instruments aren't honest? It all depends on the musicians playing the instruments. The world is always in flux and if someone doesn't like the way things are going then learn an acoustic instrument and learn how to play it yourself. Then find someone to play with. Or go to a bluegrass festival and check out Del McCoury or David Grisman or Bela Fleck or The Punch Brothers, etc. Acoustic music is doing just fine these days...and changing with the times as any living art form must do.

    +Mary Kate Daniiher Mary I think creative music will always survive...times and music always change...electronic instruments are misused and also used with great beauty depending on who's playing them. I personally think times are better now in some ways (medical advances) and I know many improvisors who are in touch with their creativity...it just appears in different forms as it should. If it stayed the same I think that it would become quite boring. It's harder now for the creative musicians to be heard but they are there!

It wasn't until after this happened that Trane got his shit together and took his musical career seriously. Miles's point was he (Trane) wasted many precious years...

    Coltrane's incredible work ethic and single-minded pursuit of finding a higher truth through music is what made Trane Trane. Miles may have accelerated Trane's publicity, but there would always have been a Trane. Too many people confuse talent with hard work. There has been no musician that practiced 16 hours a day for years like a religion, that did not become famous
