Jazz vocalists which may not be as real as we think/imagine
I've seen DK live and she is definitely the real deal!! I think her best yet is "Turn up the Quiet" On a lot of the songs you can can hear her voice break like she's lost her voice. All part of the performance and I love it, manipulation or not. Have a listen to Rodger Millers Little green Apples. Just his unique voice and minimal guitar notes...amazing Oh because of Diana Krall, my son will now actually listen to Jazz |
I mean she sings OK, I feel this song is a bit of a bore,, drags a bit, and we can hear her voice free of studio gadgets. I think had the studio not modded her voice on records,,, may not have been as convincing, I know some jazz buffs noticed the studio mods which i hear. Can be a bit annoying. I find this song a bit dull. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZZYDd4SsEk |
I have been to small clubs in the late eighties in Manhattan and was lucky enough to hear some great vocalists sing along side a trio of musicians about 8-10 feet away. Their voices live are very distinct, real and unforgettable but their recordings on CD are done in the studio and therefore better sounding. One of my most memorable performance was Astrud Gilbertothen . I still listen to her music up to now in awe and wish I've seen here more than once. There is nothing better than to listen to her in your audio room and pretend she's performing in front of you. That's where good audio can do. Thorek |
