Title: Smooth Jazz Attempt Founders
Review: I have listened to Patti Austin's work, and when I heard she was doing a CD of some of Ella's greatest songs, I became nervous. The album was not musical slander (Kenny G over Louis Armstrong), but it most certainly did not do Ella justice. Austin's interpretations on such tunes as "Too Close for Comfort" were far from the innovation and style of Ella. Ella Fitzgerald was possibly the best jazz vocalist ever, and we can all learn from her legacy. For Austin to title her album "For Ella" seems a bit presumptuous, as this R&B "Diva" falls far short of the First Lady of Jazz. I would never discourage anyone from singing Ella, but though Austin is a respected figure in the smooth jazz community, she must realize that one must tread lightly over sacred ground.
