New York?
HA!!
Nothing personal but, no thanks.
Guess a "Friend-in-the-box" is the best I can do. {g}
"BTW. Give Norah's record a chance. It's awesome."
You may take that to the bank, Mr.A.
Hell, this young Lady just might be very good, as you claim.
In which case she's someone I've been looking & waiting on for quite a while, now.
Wasn't necessarily expecting an extremely attractive, petite, young & talented brunette musician with beautiful dark eyes (to kill for), either.
Would've settled for a lot less.
Say a gal with an attention span longer than my green singer finch? {g}
"I've gotten to know her some recently, she's the real deal. Not a bs bone in her body. The majors all passed on her...a tiny jazz label (Blue Note) signed her, and off she went."
Whaaaaat, you trying out for Comedy Central or are you a Scorpio with a "humor delete" rating?
Is that supposed to be funny?
Blue Note's hardly a "tiny jazz label," my friend.
I've scores of extremely rare & old jazz recordings (remastered on CD, incidentally) by jazz *giants* the likes of Bobby Hutcherson, Hoarce Silver, Art Blakey, Anita O'Day, Herbie Hancock, Sonny Rollins, Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee, Joe Henderson, Jo Stafford, Cannonball Adderly, Abbey Lincoln, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter & the list goes on and on.
Those people refused to record with anyone *but* Blue Note, y'know.
Geshhhhhh, YOU'D do well to hitch up with BL in any capacity, CM; so, please tell me you were pulling my chain, OK?
"I know some of the guys in her band and they are all excellent players. Their success ain't the product of some major label multi-million dollar pr machine. She's resisted promotion, high priced videos, VH1 diva bs, dance remixes and the like. I gotta alot of respect for that. That and I can listen to her sing all day."
Ok-Ok...ya don't want to influence the *jury* now, do ya?
I'll give you my honest opin about the gal, & without my boneheaded biases getting in the way.
...this I promise.
