- First time I’ve ever heard "... is at least perfect." Gotta love it. Chet’s playing is at least perfect, as always.
For me Chet is not perfect but higher than perfection: in a controlled living imperfection.... That is true genius....You can learn to play perfect with practise but you cannot learn genius because there is no formula you are born with it or not...
For example i admire Kenneth Wheeler, his trumpet playing is perfect.... But it is a notch under controlled living imperfection....Then he is not affecting the living heart so much that Chet can....
