Norah Jones

Shubert, could you elaborate a bit on that last comment?

One of my favorite pop bands of the 90's was Morphine. So I shouldn't listen to them anymore because the Dana Colley can't play saxophone as well as Coleman Hawkins?

What if another female singer comes along and is a better singer than Sara Vaughn and Ella, Do I throw away their records, because now they are not the best , or just add the new singer to the great collection of female singers I have.

Btw, since i listened to heavy metal I have wanted to move into a trailer park, and chase trashy girls. ( Not that theirs anything wrong with that)

"The good is the enemy of the best."

I think that everyone's doing the best they can with what they've been given. I'm guilty of making disparaging remarks about musicians whose music I don't like but to dismiss an enormous talent such as Norah Jones simply because she isn't Sara Vaughan is absurd. NJ has a lot to offer in a variety of styles. I don't think of her as a jazz chanteuse and I don't think that's all she's trying to be.

Roxy54, I can't disagree more with the suggestion that NJ is mediocre.

I don't think Schubert really understands what he said with his apparent misquote. Then again, may be he's never missed an airplane.

I understand totally what I am saying. The above two posts are simply an argument in favor of bad taste for all .

This is the ancient view of the Philistine. To save the uneducated the bother of looking it up I quote the Oxford,"a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts or who has no understanding of them".
