They just had that indefinable fire and cohesion missing from most versions of the quartets that I've heard.
I think part of that is being such a good musician that you can not only play your part but you can simultaneously play in your head the other parts and as a result they know exactly where to show deference make a little space or even attack harder to harmonize and there’s even little cues in the playing that communicate pick it up here or sweep in like this or here we go to climax or interlude.

And you know they practice together all the time and know how to communicate verbally. But I don’t think it’s just that. Like I’m saying above there’s something borderline telepathic about it.

Much much easier for me to spot in jazz though.
