English term or phrase: So what are you saying

But again, only talking about the skill necessary to enable that to happen is reductionistic. There are a lot of guys out there with skills who have not contributed to the evolution of the instrument. It's about more than that, or about aspects and phenomena other than just skill.
When you look at Elvin Jones at the time of his emergence, he took the instrument in another direction because of his approach and *what he was saying*. **So what are you saying?** It's an emotive language. It's an aesthetic. Skill is an aspect, but it's what you do with that skill, *what you're saying* with that skill, that matters.

Это из речи проф. барабанщика.
Что-то я не въезжаю толком, что он имеет в виду этой фразой, с учетом окружающего контекста. Please advise!

Explanation:
Речь идет о языке музыки, что музыка "говорит", точнее ее исполнитель ею что-то говорит.

his approach and *what he was saying*. **So what are you saying?** It's an emotive language. It's an aesthetic. Skill is an aspect, but it's what you do with that skill, *what you're saying* with that skill, that matters.

...и что он хотел этим сказать. Главное, что ты хочешь этим сказать? Это ведь язык эмоций. Это эстетика. Способность - это только аспект, но что ты этой способностью можешь? Что ты ею хочешь сказать? Вот что важно.
