How could I love Miles and not Trane!?!? :-). Yes, Coltrane is in my collection too. "Giant Steps" and "Blue Trane" stand out for me.

"Kind of Blue" is a recording I just cannot tire of. The groove on some of those tracks is just amazing. Bill Evans is another fave of mine in the Jazz genre.

I've read over Wildwoman's post and of course she's hit any points I brought up in a much more eloquent fashion!

I'm not sure I understand your point "...is quite the undertaking if you the person even cares." One could say you become yourself just by existing, you can't help it. However, should you care to direct it or care to be aware of what you've become, you can but it takes some effort. Is that what you are saying?

Wow, I'm getting way over my head with this philosophical stuff :-).
