Title: Out of her depth or just not suited to jazz?
Product review: We bought this DVD on the strength of Chaka's excellent performance on Fourplay's "An Evening of Fourplay". However, my wife said after the second listening of this other DVD, that she is either out of her depth or she has chosen the wrong songs. I tend to agree - Chaka comes across like a less than smooth, poor man's version of Natalie Cole on this DVD. Her voice is OK in the lower register but it turns into a flat screechy monotone when she aims a bit higher. Her band is excellent and without them it would all be a total loss. In fact, we could easily have listened to the band alone - unfortunately their peformance is ruined by a less than stellar performance by Chaka Khan.
