Salvant:One of my favorites of her. Too short. It seems as if she should have come back in after the solo by Kisor, The Frogman said nothing is amiss.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnshBIuu97Q Is Dan Nimmer the most under-appreciated pianist in J...

Jazz Queen:I liked  'O Jednoj Mladosti', 'People', and 'Tebi Putujem' the best.  I didn't get the wig and costume on Tebi.I guess almost all music sound better in the native language.Cheers

In one way, singing is very hard, if you look at it that way, because I think that is 'easier' to play and express emotions (even if they do not mimic yours) than to sing them... Both are hard and take great dedication and talent.  Since the hu...

if they become collectors items, they will be remastered every other month and they will find more "new" formats to sell them to us. Sad but true.   However I stop at CD.   That's the end of the road for me.     I have 7 disc spinners.  I can g...

Everyone is not an Aficionado like yourself. The best way to get the attention of the Jazz unwashed, is to do well known tunes, standards, with your own twist. She did the right thing. I am sure it will change as she grows into it. has been done a...

 I guess my point is to ask why Thurman is getting all the attention and backing at this early point in her career. She has the talent, and this is the stage, career wise, that the help is most needed.  She may also have the personality.   Bei...

Thurman vs Lundy:Not a fair comparison.  Lundy is 32 years older than Thurman.   Lundy has a much better band and record labels.   Much more experience.All the greats, were not great on day one.   But, Thurman has the voice.  She may have to choos...

No Billie here, but who is?Notice she said "she calls it fine and mellow", not "called it fine and mellow".   I like that.   These folks don't die, they just go live somewhere else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3C9L6VzOdY CheersThurman shoul...

Carmen McRae:   Great singing and song.Thurman is no where near as smooth as Carmen,  does not have her phrasing ability.   She is a diva in the making.   I listened to Thurman's CD today.   Sitting here waiting for her sax solo, when it dawned on...
