Jazz for aficionados
Weren’t you the one who expressed dislike for Mose Allison a year or more ago? If so, considering his origins, how does that mesh? I am not sure, but I don’t dislike Allison. I have paid real money for his CDs. He was OK back in the days of protest, when there was actually real things to protest. I have him on the shelf next to Dylan, Baez and Saint Marie. Not my goto guy for Jazz. However, Mississippi punches way above it’s weight when it comes to producing musicians. In all genres. Cheers |
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9PQ7qPkluM What level of life experience she has? None, I guess. But she still can sing. How come? I feel honesty in her voice. Not many women - singer to be, I dare to say, have kept her original voices during their process of aging. You hear a lot of pretending. If I were a voice teacher, the first lesson would be finding your voice. It’s harder than it sounds. In my entire life I never wanted to sing. Ok, maybe when I was five. I bored everyone ’cause I were singing in the shops, buses, on the streets, everywhere. But later went to choir just to get away a bit from home. I think that singing is the job for somebody else. Singing is hard. Playing even harder. Dancing is another story. That’s easy. Even if it lasts 5 hours it is still easy. |
New York at it's best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Laj1BHoEaI There are several of these JALC concerts on you-tube. Check them out. Cheers |
**** what I mean by New York-ish. **** That may be what you mean, but your association to NY is extremely flawed. The Grammys, if you want to attach any kind of general sensibility to it, is an LA thing. **** *I can assure you, you will not hear Ella or Sarah or Billie or Dee Dee in anyone’s voice. As hard as they may try.*** Again, extremely flawed comment. If you can’t hear the obvious influence of Billie, Ella or Sarah on singer like Thurman; IOW, how much they sound like those great singers then I suggest.....oh, never mind, you think all amps sound the same 😊 |
Man does not live by R&B alone. Gorgeous singing by any standard: https://youtu.be/RRKP-qeJvVU https://youtu.be/eQ98YTcX7OM |
