In Reply to: I have a female jazz player friend who thinks Krall just memorized her solos, posted by oldmkvi on March 15, 2017 at 21:38:48:
Count Basie, for one, pretty much repeats the same riffs from album to album to album as do most Jazz musicians, but I still love their music.
Heck, Mozart, Beethoven and pretty much every composer one could name, especially Mahler, repeated the same phrases from pillar to piano.
I know what you mean though. There's a difference between variations on a theme and rote notes. Makes you wonder what first class musicians like Hamilton, Wilson, and Clayton really think of her.
