Artists like to redo songs. Take Micheal Buble for example. He has some of his own songs but he has many many songs that are just remakes of old jazz songs. Maybe Jazz is more of an art of interpretation rather than the creation of a song. That is really interesting and can really change the way we critisize an artist. I think I'll start keeping that in mind more when I listen to jazz music. You know, I’m starting to see a trend in this Jazz business. Artists like to redo songs. Take Micheal Buble for example.

And I've never had many fond feelings for jazz, but after hearing a snippet of the album on NPR and reading this review, I am very interested in it. Perhaps this album is a good way to really introduce myself to good jazz. Great job! I love Joni MItchell!

Perhaps this album is a good way to really introduce myself to good jazz.

Great job!

I know that this is rough and it may be too focused on one album and it may be that HH doesn't count as a "contemporary" artist. I plan on asking Donna these things in class. I had written this review for Rebecca McGill and the Vino, so if it doesn't count for that reason, I understand, as well. However, I was planning on posting it here anyway, and I figured that I might as well post it when the assignment was more or less exactly what I had written. You might just say that I wrote it early. If I can post more or again, I will. At the very least, I'm a' edit it. But, I'm in the middle of some craziness, as always, so I figured I'd at least ask Donna if this will work, and if not, that'll be cool, too. Hey.
