Anybody trashing Norah Jones should probably be reminded that her sales are funding Blue Note reissues and ad budgets. Her 6 million copies are bringing me closer my dream of owning every Blue Note Grant Green ever played on, just because of how much $ Blue Note can sink into reissuing old catalog. sh http://www.skipheller.com (the new and improved website) on 2/25/03 11:17 AM, Parry Gettelman at parry@macconnect.com wrote:
Not all those guys were on all the cuts -- as I recall, several of the tracks came from the earlier, Craig Street version of the album that was largely scrapped for sounding too much like Craig Street's other stuff. I think those are the ones Kenny Wollesen and Tony Scherr played on. If you don't like the single, the rest of it's pretty similar and you probably won't like it. I thought it was a really lovely, hard-to-categorize album, with a bunch of jazz musicians mixing R&B, country and pop until you couldn't really say what to call it. And it sustains an atmosphere really well. I love her version of "Cold, Cold Heart," the phrasing brings out the resignation in the lyrics.
I trust you have the Jenny Scheinman album Adam Levy just played on. That's gorgeous.
Don't forget that she mentioned Adam Levy too! He's done some great stuff with Trevor Dunn on "Debutantes and Centipedes" as well as Joey Baron. Are those musicians on her album? Is any of it any good? I certainly don't enjoy that slow, boring single she released.
