[OLDUDE]

Hi teddy,
I've checked Spotify.
Jean is what I guess is called a "Soul" singer. Probably good at what she does but it aint for me.
Doug Carn hardly showed up and I didn't care for his music atall.

Sorry Peppypat. Jazz it aint

Cheers John

Margaret

My only problem with Julie is whether she can be classed as a jazz singer.
I rate her highly as a straight singer.

John

 

[JHC]

Straight ??????????????? she don't look straight to my old eyes lol

 

[OLDUDE]

Shame on you Colin - I was talking voice.

I found this and I found it tough to believe at first, but she really does scat up a storm!

Hi Gord havent heard your girl before but she sounds good to me.
Hi teddy, dont write her off as jazz. to me thats pure blues (assuming blues as part of jazz - which I do but it may be controverial.

 

[teddy]

I tend to agree John, but I do not want to upset the purists

Yes Gord, I reckon Lena is beyond category! Beautiful music, arranged by Marty Paich and that excellent trumpet of Jack Sheldon.
