10/10

Overall, writing music is pretty darn good playlist.

EQ can simulate some limited subsets of effects of some reverbs, but, it cannot, even with modulation in time, cover what they do fully. The thing with reverb is that it introduces new sound. Some forms of reverbs are similar to delays with short delay times. If you look at spectrograms, both reverb and delay introduce new waveshapes to the picture. And EQ can only alter existing waveshapes, if that makes sense. (Not sure how to word this better).

Edit: adding delay here makes this all easier to understand, because if you take delay with long time, like 3 seconds, it is quite obvious that no amount of EQ can copypaste the sound into the time moment 3 seconds later right? And reverb basically has similar nature. It introduces soundwaves where they were not present before, so no amount of EQing can create them.

God, I really hate obnoxious titles like this, but it's a good tune nevertheless.

If you're interested, in the latest "International Jazz Day Global Concert" Herbie Hancock also expressed his opinion on what jazz is to him. It was in the latter part of the show. Overall I enjoyed the show, there were 2 tunes I would call wicked, others were good.

Good point. I'd agree — Coltrane, being a legend of jazz, isn’t really 'underground' either, at least on a global timescale. It’s more that jazz — especially free jazz — has become underground and largely unknown in the last decade or two, compared to earlier times when it was more widely recognized.
