Title: A Red Bull and Some Vocal Coaching?
Review: Does this woman have any vocal range or vibrato at ALL? Or does she sing every single song in the same key, tempo and way? If she is the standard that other Jazz "divas" (Pardon the cliche.) are expected to live up to nowdays, then Jazz is seriously slipping. Jaimee Paul can outsing Krall ANY day of the week and with 20x more flava! She (Krall) may be an adroit pianist, but her voice leaves a LOT to be desired. Vocally, she chops the ends of every word/note short and in a live setting, I can't imagine her showing any more (or less) personality than she shows in her music already.With Shirley Horn, one feels warm all over. However, with Krall, there is no warmth; just cold, gray, lifeless and dull EVERYTHING. Granted, her voice is sexy with its raspiness, but by NO MEANS is it enough to tow the line for years to come. She could use a Red Bull and some vocal coaching in MY opinion.A personality wouldn't hurt either.
