Are seriously going to stick with that statement?
I guess all of those years of playing scales, learning theory and composition were all a waste then?
Try and sit in with a jazz trio as a pianist and you'll quickly see where those 8 hours a day of practicing scales and learning theory can come in pretty handy. I don't need to sequence anything, as there aren't any technical passages that I can't play live.
I guess that by that ill conceived logic, if you can sequence a Herbie Hancock solo, then that makes you as good as Herbie Hancock? Not by a long shot.
It is exactly this kind of attitude that is making "musicians" extinct.
