Re: Sierra Hull's Busy Decade
From Don Greiser - "....while more notey .....".I 'm a great admirer of Sierra's playing,but,if she has a weakness,it's for 'over-egging the cake' (musically speaking).She has a tendency to bury the melody in a pile of notes that needn't be there(IMHO),a bit 'less is more' would be fine.Her technical ability is simply stunning however.She has a super smooth style that flows effortlessly & for me it's a joy to listen to - but let's have more melody & less notes. However,Sierra isn't the only player with this tendency to overplay tunes,& in picking along with tunes & trying to improvise a break,i've found myself doing it all too often (not that i'm as good as the players i'm thinking of).That's when i take a step back & 'simplify' what i've just done,
