So what?

As nice as it may sound to say that music brings out the best in people, the truth is there's always people arguing about what's better than what. This is never more shameful than those people who insist on arguing than Coltrane is better than Miles, or vise versa. If that's what you're doing, then you're missing the point. What is the point, you ask? Sit down, put your speeches away, and have a listen.

(This is probably the best version of So What? that's ever been captured on film, and it may even be better than the version from A Kind Of Blue, which is something worth owning if you don't already.)
