This is impossible

As a single example, I heard Clark Terry and Chris Woods live twice, doing
their fast-as-a-bastard scat singing routine. Absolutely nothing like it.
Brought down the house both times. But I also have a live-in-concert
recording of them doing it. It's one of the top 100 recordings in my
collection. I wouldn't trade the recording or my memory of the live
performance for anything in this world.

I can make the same case for any number of other musicians: I saw 'em
live and I have their recordings. A partial list: Les Paul, Dick Hyman,
Harry Edison, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Flip Phillips, Kenny Davern, Buddy
Tate, Gus Johnson, MJQ, Hank JOnes, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Smith, Teddy
Wilson, Maxine Sullivan, Big Joe Turner, Doc Watson, Dan Crary, Tony
Rice, the list goes on and on and on. Most of them are gone now, but
the memory of those concerts lives in my memory forever ... and I have
their recordings to remind me of their greatness

Lack of skill dictates economy of style. - Joey Ramone
