Spudfactor is the number it takes to get from Jerry to another musician, using ties defined as making music together, in person.
Anyone who played with him, live or live in studio, even picking in someone's living room, has SF1.
Then everyone they ever played with --same definition-- now has SF 2 (at most). And so forth.
The universe of SF1, when we draw all of the ties between all of the other players, defines the Side Trips Social Network.
Anyway, we were playing around with links out from Jerry to Coltrane, and my amazing commenters have determined that Jerry 0 > Ornette 1 > Coltrane 2.
So much fun. Original question was about John Chambers. We have moved on.
It's my understanding that Hartbeats era Matrix drummer John Chambers played with John Coltrane. I could check, but I wanted to pin this here before I head out to the ol' salt mines.
