Frogman, a comparison to those two is even farther apart than apples and oranges. I was making an attempt to illustrate the word "drama" as I used it to describe music. That was a flop; evidently I need another word that I have yet to find.
I instituted links in order for the music to describe itself. Since you are the "words smith" I'll leave it to you to describe the music in that fashion. (words)
We absolutely agree in regard to that Sonny Clark clip; all of those musicians were at the peak of their musical powers. My opinion of Trane is that he didn't realize he was so good "without" any extra special effort, that he could only go down hill when he tried too hard. I'll try to give you an example of what I'm talking about.
Serena Williams has the best form for the tennis serve in the game; male or female. That is something they learn as children when they first pick up a tennis ball. Her old man had enough money to hire a coach and teach her the form of Poncho Gonzalez for her serve. Poncho's serve was possibly the best ever in the game.
Most of the other players, male and female have different kinds of "Hitches" in their serve; while they get the ball in the box and make occasional aces, they don't have perfect form that results in swinging the racket the exact same way every time. My point is that her form is so perfect, that she can make more aces if she doesn't try as hard to make an ace.
Trane was at his best just before and after he left Miles. Whatever he was reaching for just before his death was too elusive for me, and a lot of his most devoted fans to hear; including McCoy Tyner and Elvin with an "E" Jones. (just kidding about the "E") When you focus on Trane with Miles, and right after he left Miles, you will detect how perfect his statements were; that only comes from an almost supernatural ability in jazz. Especially when you think of someone performing before a live audience, and not even have seconds to think about what he's going to play, and play it.
Enjoy the music.
