Well, he can, but h doesn’t.
GT: If a music chart was put in front of you, could you read it?
SM: Yes, but... practice makes perfect and I’m far from perfect at the moment. It would have to be a very slow tempo!
In my experience, I hardly ever needed to refer to a chart, since I preferred writing or improvising as much as possible. Even at my best, I would scan through the chart and quickly work out the busiest lines before the leader would count off the tune.
Wow....a contest....that would ‘ve been relevant 40 YEARS AGO.
Been looking for that video lately.....thank you.
