Musical Monday: The Robo-Coletrane

Here’s a Japanese saxaphone-playing robot that knows John Coletrane‘s Giant Steps, one of the hardest pieces you can play on saxophone.

Now here’s John Coletrane playing Giant Steps. 

After hearing the master, I think we can all agree that while the robot is technically proficient, it lacks something.  That something it lacks is probably a soul.  Or just plain soul, if you want to get jazzy about it, you beboppin’ hep cat.
