There is a scene in the movie "Amadeus" where Mozart asks Frederick the Great how he liked his latest composition, and Frederick replied that it had "too many notes". I'm not sure what Frederick the Great didn't like, but...Bebop cutting sessions like this strike me that way, "too many notes". Each musician trying to play as fast and as complicated a rif as he could to prove that he could lose the other people in the group, totally losing all sense of melody or harmony. Much technique, little memorable music.Stan Getz, who could play anything and everything, consistantly tried to prove that he was "not a feather-light stylist" but rather a "stomping tenor man".There are many better more representational and truly Stan Getz recordings like "Anniversary", "Blue Sky", "Spring is Here", "Nobody Else but Me" "Ballads and Bossa" "Focus" etc etc. See my list on this page.
