Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
Idk if I would peg Mary Coughlan as a jazz singer, or even that jazzy really. She kind of reminds me of a category that would encompass Mary Black, Kirsty McCall, Shawn Colvin, for example. Non-traditional singer-songwriters whose lyrics place them out of the mainstream but not into the jazz standards classifications; e.g. Julie London, Diana Krall, or Nina Simone. @mahgister - I’m always impressed by how eclectic your music taste is! |
OP "...Where would you start the forum and what would you call it?..." Honestly, I would not start a forum on the subject unless it was by invitation only. Only allow folks that were fairly well informed, thoughtful, and actually curious. Otherwise you get the crazies from both extremes and just becomes chaos. |
@audio-b-dog - that Laura Nyro song is called 'Stoned Soul Picnic'.... |
