The kid is 11!!! I have the Coltrane Hartman & love it as well as Ella's version on Pablo (wonderful)--- Damned impossible to sing as you well know but - give the kid a break willya.Plus - you can dispense with the gratuitous insults - doesn't accomplish anything and pisses me off. I have never pretended to have your musical acumen nor will I ever. Beside the point tho.

I don't think anyone is really debating how talented the kid is !!!
The simple truth the world has always seen it's share of these wonderfully
talented kids that unfortunately never reached the "Musical" maturity they
could/should have as they didn't have the right guidance to progress to that point !
I did not mean to offend, and to the extent I did, I apologize.

My own kids had enviable musical educations and while I was enthusiastic, I never lost my perspective.
My daughter sang well--FOR A KID!
Her musical training was in the Anglican tradition, so, guess what? No matter what she sang, it all sounded like a little pre-pubescent English boy, singing in a Cathedral.
I played her audition recording of Canteloube's "La Delaissado" for a record-producer friend, and we both cracked up at the cognitive dissonance of a ballad of lost love in the Auvergnat dialect coming out sounding like a pre-pubescent English boy singing A Ceremony of Carols.
Young Joey demonstrated the upside and the downside of being child prodigy.
I would not have been so grumpy if he had done what he did to "I've Got Rhythm." That kind of over-arranged non-stop embellishment is OK with me on "I've Got Rhythm." Bring it on, Joey! Embellish your embellishments!
But there should be a "Golden Fence" around the sheet music of "Lush Life."
IMHO.

suppose so. Can't help but admire a youngster who would take on such a challenge. Should he have chosen Malaguena?
