I see Alyn is playing a track called "My Baby Dont Squawk"...

Is he telling or instructing us something about R3 audiences here? Or is he having a go at my angry ducks? Shame either way.

I will be listening to Joe Newman on Utube...some lovely 50s mellow stuff and I could never really get myself to like Roy Eldridge's output from the same period. Shame too I know.

Tobin or not Tobin - definitely not the question; time for "some" to reconsider her jazz credentials, imuho.

The Raincoat number, Leonard Cohen, showed a very strong singing talent, in my view. And I have never felt a good singer should be strictly tied down to Jazz.
The studio session of Little Girl Blue inevitably caused a comparison with US versions. When a British singer puts on an American accent, I automatically downgrade her to second rate. She ought to be able to shout, growl and squawk without that.

Now playing..."SHOUT GROWL AND SQUAWK" ~ JOE TURNER

Or should that be Joan Turner?

Ah but Christine is Irish, that's an Irish accent, and so, coming from halfway across the Pond, I think we can forgive her...
