The point I was trying to make, which I had hoped was apparent in light 
of my earlier post, is that you don't *have* to be a top-of-the-game 
sax player to play complex jazz (whether the playing is moving or has 
something to say is a different question).  Berklee probably turns out 
a good number of sax players every year who can cover a significant 
portion of the jazz repertoire, musically, in every key, and at real 
tempos.  While the absolute number of chromatic harmonica players in 
the world who can play jazz at a similar level is miniscule.
