Too many "wrong" notes.

A wrong note is only a half step away from a right note.

Take 2: Those are "blue" notes.

his book is a trip, too. and there again, as much as i admire his proficiencey on his instrument, his playing bores the crap out of me. "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny." -F.Z.-
