Title: Puh-leaze
Product review: Enough already. This has got to be the most overrated album by the most overrated artist in history. Yes, the music is pleasant, but Ms. Krall cannot hold a candle to several present day female vocalists -- Madeline Eastman, Abbey Lincoln, and Carol Sloane come immediately to mind -- let alone greats of the past like Ella, Sarah, Billie, Sheila Jordan, and Chris Connor. And her piano playing? It is competent, at best. Check out Jessica Williams, Renee Rosnes, or Eliane Elias for some real contemporary female talent. I think it is wonderful that so many people have discovered jazz through Ms. Krall's work. But if you are one of them, please take the next step and listen to some of the artists listed above.
