Re: What snob?

You don't like Karrin Allyson and like Diana Kraal. Great. Who asked? Do you like Patricia Barber or Norah Jones? I don't care either. How pretentious of some, to insult artists, that they know others on this board admire. I am 60 years old, born and raised in Manhattan and have seen many of the great musicians perform in tiny clubs, live, before most of us knew they were great. If I were to write a list of the great artists that were panned as "not jazz" or for a number of other reasons, by professional critics, audiences, friends and me, you too would realize that self appointed critics have no credibility. It seems incredulous to me that people who supposedly like jazz and want it to succeed, attack artists with obvious talent, because they are not necessarily to their liking. Sounds like a snob to me.
