Legendary live Giant Steps. If this is the one I think it is, he does it slightly slower, opening it up ever so slightly to new creative pathways, and it's unbelievable.

No.
"What if, guided by some invisible hand, we were all converging on the same likes and dislikes? What if taste was no longer a question of making finer and finer distinctions, but of being nudged towards uniformity?"
