Hi,
I absolutely agree with you 100% on this one. Music isn't only about the notes, it's also the groove and feel, which is often very sublte, but the more subtle they are, often times they are gonna be the most difficult to truly master so that everything you do sounds like it TRULY belongs ther in that genre right scmack in its mainstream. It's a helluva lot easier to be a "jack of all trades, master of none type," but true versatility, which means that no matter what one does, it ALWAYS sounds like it belongs there, especially to those who play any particular genre full time, is the real key and very few musicians of any instrument can truly make claim to that, and those who really can (and they're few and far between), they're always in high demand, even more so if they're drummers and bass players.
That so called phrase "if he can play this, he should be able to play anything," far more often than not is, unfortunately, FAR from the truth. When I've auditioned people for my band and they tell me they can do anything, and in the audition, I'm gonna put the screws to them to make them put their money where their mouth is, and far too often, what too many musicians who brag about being able to play anuything at all too often tends to be a line of total BS. Even the most versatile of musicians are always gonna be better at certain things than others.
