My guitar teacher told me a story at my most recent lesson regarding his experience with listening to John Coltrane. To summarize: he never used to think Coltrane had anything going except technicality. Then, he went to college, trained his ears a bit, and suddenly he could hear the chord changes in the solos and he realized that Coltrane had a lot more going on than first meets the ears. I still can't hear what my teacher's talking about, so I can't explain it any better. All I'm saying is that what seems like an endless fury of notes at first usually has something deeper going on.
