Maybe.  But ya gotta start somewhere.  Same is true whether it is  
jazz improvisation or an orchestral transcription.  There is a good  
bit of legwork needed before one can be successful.

So I guess we will have to agree to differ on this one.  I think you  
do need to know A, B, and C before you get to X, Y and Z.
