I feel sorry for people that feel that way, as it is obvious they have never been in a situation where they WERE playing with super talented players. And if they HAVE, and STILL prefer the arranger, they are lost past redemption... 
I've said it before, and I will say it again, and again, and AGAIN!!! ... Nothing in my musical career will top the 26 years I played with the band in NY ... not the most talented players, but we could entertain a crowd and keep the dance floor jammed ... and we had FUN!!! ... If only I could get that back again ... but at least I had it - and for a LONG time ...
