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

Nice to see you back, Newey. I'm glad the ban wasn't for life. Anyway, this was on the whole an interesting thread, even though your little theory faux-pas must have been a tad embarrassing.

I do, on the whole, agree that in order to fully enjoy and understand serious music, some background in harmonic theory can help a great deal. The Coltrane thread served to underline for me that the average listener has little chance of understanding or appreciating his more advanced work and experimentation without a higher than usual grasp of harmony, scales, tonality etc. It sounds elitist (and it is) but a good proportion of 'Tranes oeuver is simply Pearls cast before dumb, uncomprehending, Swine. In the same way that those who have no grasp of a foreign tongue will stare in bewliderment when confronted with a person who may be reciting a great work of literature in that language.

Those who have ears, let them hear.
