Butch: Wouldn't you agree that Jimmy's economy of means came about as a 
result of limited technique? I heard him in person several times, and the 
emotional quality of his playing was high, but what he played was about the 
best his fingers could execute mechanically.

Almost the same situation was true with Art Hodes: I loved his playing, and 
had the pleasure of producing a couple of his albums, but you never had to 
worry about being dazzled by Art's dexterity.
