>Uhm... I would already be very happy if I reached the level of
Wakeman :-).  I don't think you do these guys justice by discarding
their playing as "fast arpeggios with bluesy licks".  I've seen
Wakeman do things, technically, that Corea or Zawinul can only dream
of.

I think this can be a discussion about gymnastics instead of music, I
mean...I never get impressed by simple speed, without much musical meaning
underlying. Probably the worst show I went the las ten years was the show of
Wakeman with his son...absolutely sad an boring!!!

>Of course Wakeman isn't very brilliant _musically_ (as opposed
to e.g. Corea) -- I think almost anything he composed rather sucks --

Couldn't agree more!!!
