Great quote from American Splendor:

Harvey Pekar:

The stuff he did with Thad on Bluenote in the late Fifties is more modern
than that bebop revival stuff he's into now...but you should be playing
something besides bop...man, bop was in the Forties...Post-bop was in the
fifties..the vocabulary for them has been devloped. You can't do anything
creative if you play bop now...it's like some contemporary guy composing
like
Bach or Mozart.....

Harvey Pekar, jazz
