The interplay of craft refinement vs raw talent met head on and created something otherworldly that wouldn't have been possible without the former.

I'm not going to call either a necessity, however I think its absurd to call them the enemy.Unless you're a natural you can always do better by refining your craft. It's like Duke insisting the baddest ear players learn to read. Sure you've done find without it but possibilities open up for it. That's why Jimi and Trane practiced so endlessly so that when they played you *didn't* hear the craft or refinement.

I dig what you're saying but it just validates bands like Animal Collective and shit. It's all great to have ideas and inspiration, but refine your craft so that you can execute them to the fullest of their potential and see what lies beyond that. So many artists get stuck after that first wave of ideas because they haven't refined their craft to be able to go beyond that.

Imma stop ramblin now.

Still wanna know your thoughts on that link from the last time we were talkin trane.
