Title: on snotty reviews of RLJ's work
Review: if you read any really poor reviews of this record, i suggest you go read about the reviewers. You will find their tastes rather- well, negligable at best. RLJ was voted best jazz singer by the grammies (jazz duet) as well as best jazz nomination(autumn leaves) as well as best jazz singer in many polls, including playboy way back when, and plenty of meaningless trophies for her mantlepiece. to suggest that she is not one of the greatest interpreters of songs of her generation - and ours- no not the joni mitchell 55 year old generation - is to be undereducated. She did it first - before Linda, Carly, Joni, or any of them, and she did it truer, and better. she does not belly up to the bar with publicists and the like, and is the itenerate outsider. But she has never made a bad record, and has lived a life unrecognized for the great emotion and unique vision she brings to the world.
Is the review positive or negative?
