People either seem to think she's the most gifted person in jazz currently out there or they seem to react as if she's Miss Piggy giving voice to her most famous line: "Pretentious? Moi?"
Somehow I ended up in the middle category. She's certainly a technically knowledgeable musician, but her style seems rather canned and overly laconic to me. I don't dislike her, but never go out of my way to find her stuff.
