It’s your money and your prerogative but that sure would limit my buying/listening: No Django, Wes, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, Jim Hall, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Miles, not even the iconic album "Kind Of Blue,” on the very FIRST track “So What” Miles at about ~2:13, the sax at about 5:01, and a few other places. An always note perfect sax or trumpet player could be very dull indeed.

All the above albums I own have a “flub” or two here and there.

Joe Pass's “Virtuoso" on the first track: ‘Night and Day' at ~1:27, ~1:55, ~3:00, and the third track 'Here’s that Rainy Day' at ~1:57, 3:04, 3:36, or 'All the Things You Are' ~1:49, etc. and depending on your idea of perfection there are some not-fully fretted notes throughout and it’s a GREAT album. I doubt there is any better solo jazz (or any genre) guitar player, period.

I don't call note/pitch perfect and over produced recordings embalmed, as Jim Hall allegedly said, I call them airbrushed.
