I've made a playlist on Spotify of Coltrane's compositions (131 tracks, 18hrs 38min, atm) and track one is John Paul Jones, off of Paul Chambers - Chambers' Music. I'm not that familiar with this album but I was like, I bloody know this track. Which I do! Only I know it as Trane's Blues, off of Workin' wth the Miles Davis Quintet. I know! I should've known this!

for some real fun, try this:
Hum the first two bars of "Blue Monk" to yourself. Now do the Cruella song from "101 Dalmations". They aren't the same, but it had been years since I heard the latter, and I couldn't tell until I looked up the sheet music. I suspect bassman will know the difference immediately.

They aren't the same, but it had been years since I heard the latter, and I couldn't tell until I looked up the sheet music. I suspect bassman will know the difference immediately. "Blue Monk" initially rises in three chromatic steps while "Cruella" goes like B - D - E - F#, E - G - A - Bb or something like this. The part he plays on the piano is a little closer to "Blue Monk" because it's F (blue note!) instead of F#. BTW the video is also plagued by the 24fps/25fps anomaly I mentioned earlier this morning, so it almost sounds like G# major instead of G major.
Do I have perfect pitch? Funnily enough, it's not so easy for me to say. I know I can whistle some TV or radio jingles in correct pitch straight away. To tell the pitch of a note, sometimes I need a reference note, sometimes I don't. I think the phenomenon is more complex than most people think. (Add to it the question of nurture vs. nature ...)

you've definitely got perfect-er pitch than most!

you've definitely got perfect-er pitch than most! Again a little off-point: Did you know the term "interaural pitch difference"? It describes when a pure tone has a different pitch when it is heard with the left or right ear, and it occurs with most people whose hearing is normal.
Just listen, say, to a 1000 Hz tone with your left ear only, then with your right. You will notice a (slight) pitch difference, which gets miraculously changed into one single "pitch" the moment you listen with both ears. So what does "absolute" mean anyway? (What does "yellow" mean to different people? We will never know.)
