Ben Ratliff described closeness as how similar song characteristics such as harmonies or melodies are in a song. He also talks about the closeness that can exist between musicians in a band. The way that i was interpreting his argument of closeness, and i may be wrong, is that closeness is how well the music all flows together. How the different parts that make up a song all seem to come together and play with each there, combing to make one perfect song. And with musicians, it's how well they are able to play with each other and well they compliment each other. He talks about Paul McCartney and John Lennon and well their voices come together to create such cool sounds. And John Coltrane and his drummer Elvin Jones and they're magical ability to play with each other and play off one another, examples like these demonstrate what a band can do when this type of closeness exist.
