Title: Critic Redux
Review: Good news, bad news. The good: critics know the price of everything. The bad: critics know the value of nothing. Satch can play as many notes as he damm well pleases because he can!! It's his style, his musical persona. I saw little space in the editorial review given to Satchs tone, phrasing or timing. Insted the review centered on the number of notes, not the CHOICE of notes. Why didn't Piccaso but that chicks eyes on oppeset sides of her nose, and whats with all this blue stuff? Why, because he was the artist, deal with it!! The question of good or bad should be answered by the level of emotional and artistic honesty in the work, rather than a bean-counter approach to note-accouting. Listen with your heart, if you are not moved by the work write and tell us why.Final rant: this "less is more" concept is little more than an attack by mediocre on the accomplished, unless of course its being applied to the population of critics.
Is the review positive or negative?
