It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

>If you were to argue that he was in fact a superior player on every level, then I'd probably ask why he drove himself as hard as he did, given that a superior player should--generally speaking--possess the ability to articulate their artistic vision with less effort than he seemed to put into it?<

He was never satisfied with his own playing and he therefore drove himself mercilessly. I would say that he was an extremely gifted saxophonist who fused raw talent with one hell of a lot of work. I would further say that he had incredible artistic aesthetic that translated well to his playing (and vice versa) MOST of the time... not always. His constant searching and chance-taking just doesn't lend itself to total control of his muse.
