For as much as a wild card as Miles was, Coltrane broke the mold. That dude was on another level. There's a famous story about the Blue Train album. There's a song called "Moment's Notice", and Curtis Fuller was the trombonist. Coltrane basically surprised the group in the studio with a wild composition, and Fuller was all "the hell am I supposed to do with this?" He's famously lost on the recording because he couldn't keep up, but powered through.
Fun fact: Curtis Fuller is still alive. He's 85 years old.
