[Dixielandjazz] Alcohol, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn-- Boym, Gilmore and Vickers write

[Marek Boym]

You are right, Steve - I won't.
  I have had the misfortune to hear Coltrane (much too) many times -
after all, he was the hero of my generation.  All I can say is to
quote another "jazz" musician, Miles Davis, who in an interview (for
JJI?  I'm not sure) said: "People are so gullible."
Cheers

But surely, since so many musicians and listeners see wonderful things in Coltrane's innovations, you must have a little room for self-doubt.
